Armenia to reply toughly to encroach on Karabakh

Armenia will prevent encroach on Karabakh and is ready to reply toughly, said Armenia’s President Serge Sargsyan at today’s 12th Congress of the Republican Party.

“Armenia stands from peace settlement of the Karabakh conflict through peace talks, but we will prevent any single encroach on Karabakh and are ready to reply using stringent methods,” he said.

He added Armenia remains committed to principles signed in the Republican Party and President’s programs: “The settlement of the conflict is obviously a very complicated process and it will take many years to solve it. But the current stage of settlement makes us believe that the matter may reach its logical conclusion in a reasonable time.”

Only those conflicts that stand from fair and reasonable mutual concession receive long-term and stable solution. “Times of colonized peoples, who live on their own, native territories, are gone. We state: the Karabakh conflict must be resolved on declaration of will of people of the Nagorno-Karabakh. Only in this case the solution can be long-run, real, and finally peaceful,” he said.
