Armenian President Sarkisian has suggested that a non-use of force
agreement could be signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Official
Baku however says that agreement to this proposal under the current
circumstances is unacceptable.
Official representative of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elkhan
Poluhanov has stated that if the Armenian Head of State wants to
exclude the possibility of using force he should help remove the
reasons for using it by deoccupying Azeri territory. The representative
highlighted Azerbaijan’s actions are based on the principles of
international law, which states that any country can exercise its
right to restore its territorial integrity.
