Serzh Sargsyan: our mission has been and is international recognition
of Karabakh
`For Armenia and its people, and I'm sure for Armenians all over the
world the peaceful resolution of Nagorno-Karabakh is an issue of top
priority. Regretfully, we don't have breakthrough here,' Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan said in his speech in New York.
`It's almost 20 years Artsakh is enjoying its independence and doesn't
deserve a lower status than it has today,' said President Sargsyan.
President ensured that the independence of Karabakh, the right of its
people's self-determination cannot be put under question. President
stated that mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs, negotiations
are held with Azerbaijan.
`I wouldn't call the negotiations inefficient but from another point
of view Kazan has been the best example, where Azerbaijan displayed
its destructive policy. Our mission is and has been the international
recognition of Karabakh, including the recognition by Azerbaijan.
Unilateral concessions are out of discussion. Until Azerbaijan is
committed to armed threats, development of armenophobia, it will be
difficult to speak about any advancement. We should acknowledge that
Armenia hasn't recognized the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh because
Armenia has been trying to materialize outcome in the negotiations.'
President stressed that any adventure of Azerbaijan, any operation out
of OSCE Minsk Group format will speed up the recognition of the
Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh by Armenia.
