PanARMENIAN.Net - Nagorno Karabakh situation remains a security
challenge both for the region and Europe, Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan said.
"Armenia sees no alternative to the peaceful resolution of the conflict
in the framework of OSCE Minsk Group. However, Azerbaijan's policy
over the last year, aggressive statements and unfounded confidence
spark tension both at the line of contact and on Armenian-Azerbaijani
border. Thus, it is no coincidence that the situation remains tense,
with young people having died for the past few weeks," President
Sargsyan said at a joint press conference with his Austrian counterpart
Heinz Fischer.
Armenian leader further stressed the statement by OSCE Minsk Group
co-chairing presidents at G20 summit in Mexico, urging the conflicting
parties to adhere to the ceasefire agreement and the principles of
the Helsinki Final Act - particularly those relating to the non-use
of force or the threat of force, territorial integrity, and equal
rights and self-determination of peoples.
"Acceleration of Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement favors the
interests of both Armenia and Artsakh. Hopefully, over the last few
months the international community acknowledged the party undermining
peace efforts," the President said, adding that Azerbaijan accepts
the principle of the territorial integrity only.
