ArmInfo. ‘Return of the conquered lands is a nonsense in the world
policy.
I do not remember a case in the history for the conquered lands to
be ever returned, especially as the war was launched by Azerbaijan
which has just got this result’, leader of the Democratic party of
Armenia Aram Sarkisyan said to today’s press-conference.
He also said that Armenia had to precisely formulate its position on
Nagorno Karabakh far ago. ‘If Azerbaijan wants to solve this problem,
let it formulate its position which would serve Armenia’s turn. The
parties have to clearly formulate their positions and negotiate under
participation of the Karabakh war’, A. Sarkisyan emphasized. Touching
on the Armenian-Russian relations, A. Sarkisyan said they are at a
very high level, ‘however one should not think that we shall be able
to solve any problems if we keep good relations with Russia. So, it is
necessary to carry out a balanced policy and Armenia tries to do that’.
As for RF FM Sergey Lavrov’s visit, A. Sarkisyan thinks that it is
rather connected with his intentions to hold consultations with the
Armenian party, after Serzh Sargsyan’s visit to Georgia. ‘It is also
quite possible that Russia will try to preserve any relations with
Georgia under mediation of the third country, taking into account
the fact that it has currently no diplomatic relations with Georgia,
A. Sarkisyan resumed.
