SERGE SARGSIAN: I DON’T SEE ANY FACTS SPEAKING OF OUR POSSIBLE DEFEAT
IN NEGOTIATING PROCESS ON NAGORNY KARABAKH
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 9. ARMINFO. All the statements on supposedly signed
documents are not true. Minister of Defence of Armenia Serge Sargsian
stated in the interview to Yerevan’s newspaper Golos Armenii,
answering the question on that themes about the defeat of the Armenian
side in the negotiating process concerning Nagorny Karabakh and
signing of an agreement with Baku on unfavorable for us conditions
have been made recently with new force.
According to the Defence Minister, there is a little coincidence of
today’s situation with that in 1992. “I do not fully understand the
noise raised today. I am always ready to listen to the just
criticism. But why do they have such malevolence? There is no ground
for this. In 1992 they also cried that Karabakh was sold, lost, but
everybody were assured that was not so. Today I do not see real facts
that are evidence of our possible defeat in the negotiating
process. All the talks about allegedly signed documents do not
correspond reality. I can certainly say: no document will be signed
out of the three principles announced by the president of Armenia,
according to which Karabakh cannot be within Azerbaijan, Karabakh
should have a fully-fledged land link with Armenia (but not a “path”
as many ill-wishers say), and Karabakh should have serious security
guarantees including a guarantee that the war will not be restarted,
Sargsian said
