I don’t see any alternative way to the peaceful resolution of
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan stated in
his interview to `Ria Novosti’.
To the question how the President would describe the ongoing stage
over the resolution of the conflict, Serzh Sargsyan said he could
evaluate those processes as a general working process.
`That is a conflict, which means that struggle, negotiations are held,
and the conflict resolution depends on all the sides, including
Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan and Armenia. The Minsk Group has an
important mediating role,’ S. Sargsyan said.
He underscored, the NK people have been trying to make the historic
injustice right through peaceful and legal norms, which has been
profoundly opposed to annihilate the NK people.
`The peaceful activities of NK people have been opposed by armed
usage, by the war stipulated by the Azerbaijani side. In those
difficult days, Karabakh people could get united and protected their
lands, women, children and the retired. The war, that wasn’t our
choice, we just didn’t have any other possibility, we needed to be
defended. I don’t see any other alternative to the peaceful resolution
of NK conflict.’ Serzh Sargsyan said.
Serzh Sargsyan stated that Yerevan is intended to continue
negotiations with Baku mediated by the MG. `We are ready to support
direct communication between Baku and Stepanakert, since the key to
the conflict resolution is, first of all, in Nagorno-Karabakh,’
President Sargsyan said.
