"During our meeting, the Turkish President expressed willingness
to assist in the process of the peaceful settlement of the Karabakh
conflict upon necessity. I want to emphasize the word ‘assist’. We
have always welcomed any assistance creating a positive atmosphere for
the intermediary activity of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, and the
initiative of the Turkish President may really create such atmosphere.
Our principal goal in the settlement of the problem of Artsakh
is to convince the Azerbaijani party, through peaceful methods and
negotiations, that the recognition of the right to self-determination
is inevitable.
I am sure that after the recognition of that right, we’ll move forward
with joint efforts and long steps," President S. Sargsyan said in a
meeting with the representatives of the American-Armenian community.
