ArmInfo. 20 years ago in Mountainous Karabakh people found themselves
facing the threat of extermination only because of being Armenian
and wanting to live free, said Serzh Sargsyan, the President of the
Republic of Armenia, in the Chattem House British Royal Institute of
International Affairs.

The Armenian presidential press-service told ArmInfo that the president
touched upon issues related to establishment of peace and security
in the region. "Armenia is a firm believer in values such as freedom,
peace, and cooperation. We believe that our shared vision of a peaceful
and stable region can be achieved only through regional cooperation and
dialogue. The South Caucasus is one of those regions where there are
ostensibly insurmountable divisions, the internationally-recognized
political map of states differs from the reality, fragile peace is
extremely vulnerable, and re-establishing peace demands enormous
efforts",- he said.
