Armenia’s top priority in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement is
the NKR population security, RA President Serzh Sargsyan stated in
the interview with Associated Press, replying to the question stage
in Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.

"I am seeking solutions enabling peaceful development of NKR population
in their historic lands, however, there are still warlike statements
voiced in our region, deepening hostility and mutual distrust. For
this reason, recently I offered Azerbaijan to conclude a treaty
on non-use of force that will provide an opportunity to establish
certain stability and confidence. Actually, shutting the door upon
our proposals, Azerbaijan ignores the key principle of International
Law. It will not bring to anything good," Sargsyan noted recalling
the aggression by Azerbaijan in 1990s.

"The situation was the same in early 1990s, when we spoke of the
necessity of peaceful resolution to Karabakh conflict, however
Azerbaijan called in the aggression. Today we have this reality,"
Sargsyan said.

As NEWS.am reported previously, March 22, RA President Serzh Sargsyan
and First Lady Rita Sargsyan left for a three-day official visit to
Syria at the President Bashar al-Assad’s invitation.
