STEPANAKERT. – The end of any war is preceded by negotiations, and the Nagorno-Karabakh Army welcomes talks to find settlement of Karabakh conflict in any format, Karabakh Defense Minister said.

Movses Hakobyan said the meeting of three leaders in Sochi was held after the escalation at the line of contact.

“Peace at the line of contact was achieved on August 5, prior to the meting of presidents, since Armenian armed forces gave an adequate response to Azerbaijan's provocations and acts of sabotage. On August 5, Azerbaijani side stopped the diversion attempts as well as stopped intensive shelling of our positions,” Hakobyan told reporters.

Commenting on results of the Sochi talks, he said the trilateral meeting of presidents will not lead to ceasefire at the line of contact.

“Azerbaijan has no intention to solve Karabakh conflict peacefully. I do not expect that the conflict may be solved in a couple of years,” he emphasized.

The presidents of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan met in Sochi on August 10.
