“Armenia backs NKR conflict peaceful settlement through negotiations, however Armenia will outface any encroachment on Karabakh,” RA President Serzh Sargsyan stated at RPA Nov. 28 congress, NEWS.am reports.

South Ossetian events showed how unstable peace in the region is and proved the necessity of expeditious settlement of conflicts. “Karabakh conflict is a complex issue and cannot be solved in short time. However the current developments allow asserting that conflict resolution will be achieved within a reasonable time,” Sargsyan outlined, adding that conflicts are always settled based on reciprocal concessions.

Meanwhile, according to RA President, NKR issue should be settled based on expression of Karabakhi people will, as only in this case peaceful and lasting conflict resolution is possible. “The conflict settlement should be presented in single package stipulating all mechanisms for tackling all problems,” he concluded.

Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) forms a majority in Armenian coalition. RA President Serzh Sargsyan (Chairman of the party), NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan and Premier Tigran Sargsyan are RPA members.
