Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan made a correct decision when
refusing to attend the NATO Summit in Chicago. By his refusal he
clearly expressed Armenia's position in the Karabakh peace process,
Rouben Safrastyan, Director of the Institute of Oriental Studies
of the Armenian National Academy of Science, said at today's press
conference in Yerevan.
The expert said that in any case Serzh Sargsyan would not be allowed
to express his opinion on this issue, because Armenia is not a member
of the Alliance and is not going to become a member in the near future,
and all the agreements between the Alliance and Armenia are implemented
within the frames of the Individual Partnership Action Plan.
"Having refused to attend the Summit, Serzh Sargsyan made it clear
that Armenia is committed to the peaceful settlement of the conflict
on the basis of the three principles of international law followed
by the OSCE Minsk Group. The accentuation of one of these principles,
particularly, the principle of territorial integrity, is unacceptable
for Armenia", Safrastyan said.
At the same time, Safrastyan thinks that this position of NATO may
give a free hand to Azerbaijan, which will strengthen its aggressive
attacks and pressure on Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh, and will continue
breaching the cease-fire regime.
