KARABAKH SHOULD HAVE BORDER WITH ARMENIA – SARKISIAN
The self-proclaimed republic of Nagorno-Karabakh should have a border
with Armenia, Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sarkisian said in an
interview with the Izvestiya newspaper published on Tuesday.
The prime minister also pointed out that "we are not afraid of
fighting, but we do not want a war."
"We have always stated that the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement should be
peaceful. This issue does not have a military solution," the prime
minister said.
"Statements made by Azeri authorities that they can solve many issues
by military means, that they have a lot of money and that this money
will lead them to victory have become more frequent over the past two
or three years," Sarkisian said.
"We should have guarantees that a war will not resume," the Armenian
PM said.
