Armenia’s top priority in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement is the NKR population security, RA President Serzh Sargsyan stated in the interview with Associated Press, replying to the question stage in Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.

“I am seeking solutions enabling peaceful development of NKR population in their historic lands, however, there are still warlike statements voiced in our region, deepening hostility and mutual distrust. For this reason, recently I offered Azerbaijan to conclude a treaty on non-use of force that will provide an opportunity to establish certain stability and confidence. Actually, shutting the door upon our proposals, Azerbaijan ignores the key principle of International Law. It will not bring to anything good,” Sargsyan noted recalling the aggression by Azerbaijan in 1990s.

“The situation was the same in early 1990s, when we spoke of the necessity of peaceful resolution to Karabakh conflict, however Azerbaijan called in the aggression. Today we have this reality,” Sargsyan said.

As NEWS.am reported previously, March 22, RA President Serzh Sargsyan and First Lady Rita Sargsyan left for a three-day official visit to Syria at the President Bashar al-Assad’s invitation.
