NEW YORK. - Peaceful settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a
question of uttermost priority for Armenian state and all Armenian
people, said President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan at the solemn
reception organized by Armenian Embassy in the U.S., permanent mission
of Armenian to the UN and Armenian-American organizations.
According to the President, Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) has been
independent for 20 years and cannot acquire a lower status in the
course of settlement process.
`The independence of Karabakh, realizations of people's self
determination right can never be questioned. We continue negotiations
with Azerbaijan under mediation of OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs. I would
not say that the talks are futile, however, meeting in Kazan proved
that Azerbaijani side does not stand out with particular
constructiveness.
Groundless, unilateral concessions are out of question, which we have
recurrently stressed. We were and remain convinced that for the
settlement process will be fruitful, we need confidence building steps
and actions between the conflict parties,' said the President.
