The Kalashnikov automatic rifles, cannons, and Grad and Smerch rocket launchers conduct negotiations today, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) Deputy Prime Minister Artur Aghabekyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

Responding to the query on what concessions can Nagorno-Karabakh make to resolve the conflict with Azerbaijan, Aghabekyan noted that we can speak about concessions solely if there is a climate of tolerance.

“What [concessions] is it about if a mere twenty days have passed from the time when our society saw how they [i.e. the Azerbaijanis] are beheading a soldier [of ours], playing with his head, instead of a ball? When the [Armenian] society sees that the objective of the adversary is to come and kill our mothers, sisters,” he stated. “Speaking about concessions is a sign of weakness today. [We] need to speak only about victory, dignified life.

“The adversary intends to achieve the goal [its] by force.  Our task is to unite, forget about everything, and defend our right to live in the Armenian Highlands.”
