Azerbaijan's bellicose statements and threats are not only aimed
at the security of Artsakh (the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic) or the
Armenian side, but also terrorist in nature and should concern the
entire civilized world, said president of the de-facto republic Bako
Sahakyan, speaking to RFE/RL's Armenian service.
"We are carrying out serious work, so as to avoid possible military
action. I consider that this conflict is not only limited by the
interests of Azerbaijan, Artsakh and Armenia. Today's civilized world
has its demands particularly in our region. I view our activities not
in this extreme policy, but on the contrary, we must do everything
to reduce the existing tension and try to approach clarifying our
relations by exercising other tools more," said Sahakyan.
As for the Madrid Principles, according to the NKR leader, Armenia's
leadership has repeatedly stated that these and the other principles
are a basis on which to negotiate.
"Consequently, we too welcome any proposal which is grounds for
negotiation. And we find that the document today, if it provides
the opportunity for dialogue, cannot be refused by us. If a document
has been proposed by the Minsk Group co-chairs, today the talk is of
the Madrid document, which allows for negotiation, that doesn't yet
mean agreement by the [conflicting] parties. And the RA leadership
has repeatedly stated that the talk is about a document around which
negotiations are taking place. And if tomorrow that will be this and
the other document, which will make it possible for Artsakh to also
negotiate, we, of course, will welcome it. Because a document doesn't
yet mean an ultimatum," he said.
