ArmInfo.Vahan Hunanyan, Spokesperson for the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has answered a question by the Armenpress news agency.

Question: Armenia has repeatedly stated its readiness to sign a peace treaty with Azerbaijan and reciprocal statements have also been made by Azerbaijan. Are concrete steps being undertaken in this regard?

Answer: The signing of the agreement should be surely preceded by a negotiation process. Since mutual statements have not yet developed into a concrete negotiation process, as the two countries do not have rich experience of direct negotiations, Armenia will probably soon apply to the mediators – the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs to initiate the peace negotiations with Azerbaijan. The issue is currently being elaborated.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
