"Loss of each Armenian soldier is the loss of our whole nation. We
all mourn the death of our soldiers, together with the families of
the victims. Regarding the response given to the rival, nothing can
console our grief," President Serzh Sargsyan stated, answering to
Panorama.am question about border incidents.
"I've been always saying that the instigations on the line of contact
are very dangerous. I've also said they will get severe responses.
Recent incidents are evidence of it," stressed President Sargsyan.
Remarking on the issue of responsibility for the border incidents,
President said: "Either the instigations have been recommended by the
Azerbaijani authorities, and in that case, they are responsible for
the violation of the ceasefire regime an international obligation
that Azerbaijan assumed, or the Armed forces of that country are
out of control, and in that case we are to cope with separate field
commanders, and not an organized army."
"We don't find any reason to apply armed force, since we consider
negotiations the only way to settle the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
and the resolution must comprise implementation of right of self
determination of people of Artsakh. To move forward and advance,
as the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs have repeatedly stated, people
should be prepared to peace. The Azerbaijani side is committed to
do quite the opposite - using encouragement of xenophobia as a tool
to distract people's attention from domestic affairs," said the
President and stressed two factors: "It's especially painful that
the provocative actions occurred on the day when intellectuals of
Armenia and Azerbaijan, by the initiative of the Russian side, were
holding a meeting aimed to strengthen atmosphere of trust, and the
Secretary of State of another co-chairing state - USA, was paying a
regional visit to South Caucasus."
Speaking about the plans of the Armenian side, President Sargsyan
said: "We are not committed to strain the situation, but we won't
leave unanswered any action against our citizens, state borders and
Nagorno Karabakh. The Armed forces of the Republic of Armenia are
strictly ordered to perform restraint and vigilance, at the same
time to prevent and punish any provocation by the rival. I am sure
the international community and the people of Azerbaijan understand
who is responsible for the blood of the victims."
