Azerbaijan is trying to deny the realities of the past thirty years, said the second President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan at a meeting with youth representatives.

"I do not see any option for resolving the Karabakh conflict in the near future. Recently, in an interview, I was forced to say this. The Azerbaijani side denies the realities of the past 30 years. But it’s impossible not to read the facts. The legal grounds for the creation of Artsakh are impeccable," Kocharyan said. "Two generations of people have grown up in Karabakh, being confident that they are building a new state. Progress is impossible until Azerbaijan understands this simple truth."

The ex-president noted the opponent should realize that the issue cannot be resolved by military means.
