"With this statement of his the Armenian President proved once again
that the Armenian party has constructive position and this is his
second most important initiative to maintain and reinforce peace and
stability in the region," Armenian National Assembly Republican Party
(ARP) deputy Artak Zakaryan told Panorama.am referring to Serzh
Sargsyan’s appeal to Azerbaijan over signing agreement on non-use
of force.

"I think, the international community sees this statement as an
exceptionally important circumstance, taking into account the three
main principles underlying the settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh issue:
national self-determination, territorial integrity and the non-use
of force," the deputy said.

According to the ARP deputy, if Azerbaijan accepts the call and proves
its truthfulness to the peaceful settlement of Nagorno-Karabakh issue,
this will be viewed as a significant factor in the context of the
resolution of the conflict.

"This proves to be significant for the international community as
well since Azerbaijan continues its policy of speaking the language
of threats," A. Zakaryan said.
