YEREVAN. - Claims about pressure exerted on the Armenian side at negotiation process over Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are exaggerated, said the President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan at his speech to first army conference of young military officers of Armenia on Saturday.

“First and foremost, we are going to do our best to resolve the conflict in peaceful way. The process is going on and we act constructively in this process, everybody knows that,” Sargsyan said.

According to the president, “certain parties encourage us, while others try to criticize, but that does not really matter.”

“What actually matters is that talks on pressure are being exaggerated. The mediators try to bring closer the positions of the involved sides, the positions of Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan,” added Serzh Sargsyan. “The process continues with difficulties and that is the way it should be. We never expected easy resolution. Our position is known to everybody and not everybody accepts it. We will do everything to reach a fair conclusion.”
