The security of Armenia and Artsakh is our number one task, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, who is the commander-in-chief of the Armenian Armed Forces, said at the meeting with the servicemen and their family members in Artsakh Saturday.

In his speech he noted the following:

“Any member of the society can be confident: we haven’t and won’t spare any efforts and means, and also opportunities for further enhancement of our security and its replenishment with new components. Parallel with the efforts aimed at ensuring the external favorable conditions for the development of our country, we will continue our policy of modernizing, raising the combat-readiness of armed forces, and replenishing with modern and relevant equipment, which we actually have no alternative to.

Yes, together with the international mediators we will continue exerting efforts towards achieving peaceful and dignified settlement of the Karabakh conflict—a settlement, which will record the inviolable and indisputable right of the Artsakh people to live freely and create on their historical land, as well as guarantee long and sustainable peace.  

But from our recent past—the April war—we are aware of the mentality dominating on the other side of the border, the values propagated there and the distorted and imaginary perceptions about reality and prospects.

I am stating very clearly and distinctly: our armed forces, which are our collective dignity and honor, will continue to force peace on the adversary by their readiness, armament and unbeaten morale, if, God forbid, the need for this rises again.

Let no one doubt that there are few nations in the world who know the price for the peace as well as we do. Let no one doubt that we are people, whose dignity cannot be a subject of haggling and who cannot be forced to make steps, which are against our dignity and sense of justice, as well as against the norms of international law.”
