This in non-negotiable: the destiny of Nagorno Karabakh will be
decided solely by the people of Artsakh, Serzh Sargsyan stated at the
RPA 14th Convention, adding that another essential element of secure
Motherland is the peaceful resolution of the Artsakh problem.
`The Nagorno Karabakh problem must be solved exclusively through
peaceful means, through negotiations. At the same time, we are ready
for a staunch putdown of any reckless scheme or encroachment, which
may endanger our security,' said the country's leader.
The President highlighted that considering Azerbaijan's destructive
policy, persistent propagation of hatred towards Armenians, daily
threats to use force, we will continue through all possible means to
enhance security guarantees for Nagorno Karabakh and its population.
The President said that the Armenian side will carry on with the
process of negotiations. `Expressing our gratitude to the Co-Chair
states of the Minsk Group for their efforts towards the peaceful
resolution of the conflict, we will at the same time continue to draw
the attention of mediators and the international community to
opportunities for the establishment and strengthening of confidence
building measures, which could be helpful towards a peaceful
resolution. Azerbaijan's policy in general and, particularly, their
refusal to withdraw snipers, refusal to put info force a mechanism for
investigation of border incidents, the glorification of a murderer,
inducement of xenophobia and racism, unreliable and hypocritical
stance during negotiations are not conducive to the establishment of
confidence building measures and, if left unchecked, will exacerbate
the situation in the entire region.'
Serzh Sargsyan stressed that `it would be reasonable and natural if
Artsakh came to the table of negotiations as soon as possible, thus
our efforts will be aimed at the expeditious resolution of that
issue.'
`Effective negotiations in a constructive atmosphere will become
possible only when the parties to the conflict genuinely want to reach
a just resolution of this issue, abandoning baseless maximalist
claims,' he concluded.
