/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "We will not allow that state of no-peace no-war
to guide our history," Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian
said when addressing ArmTech-2007 congress, the RA MFA press office
reported. This determination has driven Armenia’s growth of the last
decade, according to him.

"Just as we will not allow an unrepentant Turkey to determine our
agenda, we will also not limit our choices and options by the lack
of a willingness on the part of Azerbaijan to enter into a lasting
agreement. They do not want to acknowledge either the past, or the
present. As a result, they are not interested in discussing a common
future. The mental state of war persists in Azerbaijan. In Armenia and
Karabakh, I am proud to say that OUR outlook is towards the future,
towards an eventual peace, towards progress, stability and prosperity,"
he said.

"With determination, pragmatism and most of all, unity, we can
develop adopt the right policies to identify and utilize new resources
for the common good, and to assure our continued and comprehensive
development," the Minister said.
