YEREVA.N. - The Karabakh conflict must be settled exclusively though
peaceful talks, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on Saturday,
addressing the delegates of the 14th special session of the Republican
Party of Armenia.
At the same time Armenia stands ready to give a decisive rebuff to any
encroachment threatening Armenia's security.
Armenia will do its utmost to improve security guarantees of
Nagorno-Karabakh and its population in the light of Azerbaijan's
non-constructive position, anti-Armenian rhetoric and constant threats
of force.
`We will continue the negotiation process. Expressing appreciation to
the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs for their efforts into peaceful
resolution of the conflict, at the same time, we will constantly draw
their attention to the establishment and strengthening of confidence
measures which are making possible a peaceful solution. Azerbaijan's
policy on the whole, non-withdrawal of snipers, refusal to implement
mechanisms to investigate incidents at the line of contact,
glorification of murderers, promotion of racism and xenophobia,
unreliable and double-faced position in negotiations, do not
contribute to creating an atmosphere of trust, and are escalating
situation in the regions not getting the proper response. It is
natural and logical that Nagorno-Karabakh should return to the
negotiation table as soon as possible, so we will make efforts to
find a speediest solution to this problem,' President said.
Sargsyan also noted that in the context of international processes, we
are witnessing the vivid examples of implementation of the people's
right to self-determination, not leading to wars or force.
`Nagorno-Karabakh is a part of Europe. We have always supported a
peaceful solution to the Karabakh conflict. Close ties between
Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Diaspora must be strengthened. Together,
we will contribute to the establishment and development of a free,
independent, democratic Nagorno-Karabakh,' he said.
