ArmInfo. The world community proposes to solve this conflict on the
basis of three principles of international law: firstly,
self-determination; secondly, territorial integrity; and thirdly, the
non-use of force. I propose, through you, the media, to appeal to
Azerbaijan to sign an agreement not to use force, President of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with Euronews TV channel.

"This would instill trust in the Armenian people of Karabakh and
Armenia. And under these conditions of trust we would begin the
negotiations for a settlement. We Armenians know very well what
Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity means. We’ve talked about it openly
several times. The Azerbaijanis: can they say what the right of self-
determination means for the people of Nagorno Karabakh?

When we issue joint declarations about the right of
self-determination, Azerbaijan is not talking about the Armenian
people’s right to self-determination but of the right of the main
player in the conflict: the people of Nagorno Karabakh", S. Sargsyan
said.
