President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan has ruled possibility of any
trade around Nagorno Karabakh.

"Those, who consider that the talks involve trades on Karabakh are
deeply mistaken. Karabakh is our land, and it is invaluable, so it
is incorrect to trade on this issue", said the President during the
session of the Flourishing Armenia.

He said Armenia’s position on Karabakh is clear.

"Karabakh people have a right for self-determination and they have
executed this right. Karabakh can not be a part of Azerbaijan, there
are no legal or historical backgrounds for this and the most important
is the will of the Karabakh people", said the head of the state.

The Armenian President noted that the peaceful resolution of the
Karabakh conflict has no alternative and it will lead to recognition
of the Karabakh people for self-determination.

The head of the state noted that the integral right for
self-determination is the only way and it is necessary to struggle
for this right and continuation of talks.
