Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said today that
`Artsakh [Nagorno Karabakh] has been and will continue to be
Armenian'.


Serzh Sargsyan said this speaking today at the Republican Party of
Armenia Convention.

`The Republic of Armenia has provided and will continue to provide
all-inclusive assistance to Artsakh's political and economic
development. International recognition of the right of the people of
Artsakh to self-determination will be the foundation for the peaceful
resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh problem. We will continue our works
in the ongoing negotiations aimed at the engagement of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic as a full-fledged party in these negotiations.
Efforts of Armenia, Artsakh and Diaspora will be aimed at the adoption
in the international organizations of the decisions which preclude
military option for the resolution of the conflict', Serzh Sargsyan
said.
