Unfortunately, now we cannot fix any changes in the Karabakh peace
process, however, the status of Artsakh as an independent republic
will never decline, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said during the
reception in New York, organized by the Armenian Embassy in the US,
Armenian representation in the UN and other Armenian-American
organizations.
However, one should not say that these talks are not effective, but
the meeting in Kazan vividly showed how Azerbaijan is distinguished by
its constructivity, to be more precisely - by the lack of
constructivity, he said.
Sargsyan pointed out that Armenia strives for international
recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent republic, including
its recognition by Azerbaijan and excluding the unilateral ungrounded
concessions by Armenia. "It is very hard to speak of real progress as
long as Azerbaijan is still threatening to use force and is conducting
anti-Armenian propaganda", the president said.
As regards normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations, the president
said that notwithstanding the results, the Armenian-Turkish process
was initiated in due time, as Armenia has gained a new level of
international image and revealed Turkey's inability to face the truth.
