The position of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) on the Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) issue is known, it has been repeatedly voiced by [third] President [and RPA chairman] Serzh Sargsyan: Artsakh will never be part of Azerbaijan. RPA spokesman Eduard Sharmazanov stated about this in a conversation with 168.am.

"We have held this position both during our rule, after the change of power, and at this moment. Nothing has changed in our positions. Any other option than the package solution has not been for us and it will not be acceptable," Sharmazanov added.
