THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA SERZH SARGSYAN GAVE INTERVIEW TO THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 9, ARMENPRESS. The people of Nagorno Karabakh want
to live free and decide its fate on its own. The proposal of the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs is anchored on this very idea. As reports
"Armenpress" the President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan
spoke about this in the interview to The Wall Street Journal. The
President stated: "We are ready to make compromises, we are ready
to settle the issue as swiftly as possible and we call on Azerbaijan
to follow suit. That is the most rational path to pursuit, the most
rational solution and it would serve as a best way out. I am almost
confident that Azerbaijan indeed seeks to give a new turn to the
development, that is to renew military hostilities. They are just
expecting to opportune moment for that. But to what extent carrying
out those planning will succeed is conditioned upon the position
of international community and the level of combat readiness of the
Armenian Armed Forces." In his opinion it's necessary to realize both
the consequences and the root causes of the previous war. Claims on
addressing only the consequences of the war do not have any future.
The President of the Republic of Armenia stated: "The situation
is intense, but I should say that I have never made any bellicose
statement. We merely respond to the Azeris that mattering about
military hostility is unnecessary. Moreover, the resumption of military
hostility will harm Nagorno Karabakh, will harm Armenia, but first
and foremost it will necessarily harm Azerbaijan." He emphasized
that the Armenian Forces will disproportionably counterattack, if
Azerbaijan resumes the military actions. Armenia cannot stand aside,
when the people of Nagorno Karabakh is under attack.
The President also underlined that Armenia is increasingly concerned
with the perspective of the military hostility against Iran. That
will give way to a chain of consequences, which can cause the military
hostility between Yerevan and Baku. Sargsyan highlighted the importance
of integrity of the international community in the situation in the
region to assist to calm down the intense relations of Armenia and
Azerbaijan. The President stated: "If we were living in an isolated
region, where the international community had no influence, the war
had already be resumed."
The President of the Republic of Armenia also mentioned that
the Government is doing its best to solve the problems regarding
corruption and that Armenia's economy had posted a 7% expansion in
the year through September.
