YEREVAN. - Republican Party of Armenia hails positive statement
issued by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing states, spokesperson Eduard
Sharmazanov told Armenian News-NEWS.am.
The statement contains precise signals directed on Azerbaijan's
destructive approach.
According to him, the statement corresponds to the position of the
Armenian side.
Firstly, presidents of Co-Chairing states called to solve the conflict
peacefully. President Sargsyan, repeatedly urged his Azerbaijani
counterpart to sign an agreement on non-use of force, an offer that
was refused by President Aliyev.
Secondly, the leaders note use of force is unacceptable. Azerbaijani
president has recently mentioned possibility of military solution to
the conflict.
Thirdly, the statement notes use of force would only bring more
suffering and devastation. It also corresponds to the position of
the Armenian side. Azerbaijan unleashed war in Nagorno-Karabakh and
Armenian side have repeatedly stated that the party, which will start
war, will suffer more.
Presidents also called on the sides to prepare their populations
for peace, not war. Only a negotiated resolution of the conflict is
acceptable to Armenia. This part of statement is also a response to
destructive approach of Azerbaijan.
Finally, the presidents mentioned 'the sides' rather than the 'two
sides', which means they indirectly acknowledge there are more than
two sides, he concluded.
