YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 9, ARMENPRESS: "We do not afraid of fighting
but we do not want war," President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said
February 7 at the session-discussion on "Management of Instability:
South Caucasian Region and Western Balkans" within the frameworks of
the 45th Munich Security Issues Summit.
Responding to the observation of Azerbaijani Foreign Minister
Elmar Mammedyarov according to which it is impossible to realize the
statement of the Armenian president on making the region a crossroad of
peace and cooperation, President of Armenia said, "I have not mentioned
any other country in my speech but Armenia and if "military rhetoric",
"race of ammunition", "unconstructive approaches", phrases voiced in
my speech the Azerbaijani foreign minister ascribed to his country I
think more probably he is right. He is not right in one issue when he
is trying to dictate conditions to Armenia on behalf of his country. I
think it is not fair to speak about aggression when Azerbaijan started
his aggression against independent Nagorno Karabakh and so that
Nagorno Karabakh people would not be massacred they managed to defend
themselves during it occupying certain territories from where every
day hundreds of bombs where falling on old people, children and women."
"Are these people guilty that they managed to survive and now the
people of Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia are saying lets sit over the
table of negotiations and on the basis of all international standards
negotiate over the principles and come to peaceful solution," Armenian
president said.
In general, according to him, certain political figures are on a wrong
way if they think that certain means may become basis for threatening
another state or dictating war conditions.
