The recent events in South Caucasus have clearly demonstrated that
there is no military solution to regional conflicts, he said.

The Nagorno-Karabakh problem must be resolved solely through peace
talks, said Sargsyan, who chairs the Armenian governmental delegation,
which arrived in Stepanakert to attend the festivities on the occasion
of the 17th anniversary of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic (NKR).

For his part, Armenian Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan called
for further reinforcement of the NKR Defense Army because this is
required by the current geopolitical processes and the recent events
in the region.

As regards the military operations in Georgia, the minister said
that, unlike in other conflicts, the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh
is different, because it has a capable army and a deep defense.

The NKR Defense Army has proved on many occasions that it is prepared
for any provocation from the enemy and is capable of providing security
for the republic, said the Armenian defense minister.
