Armenia isn’t afraid of fighting, says President Sargsyan

“Considering that the war can never be hoped for, we at the same time do not afraid of fighting, if the war begins. However, our absolute position is to consider a peaceful settlement to the conflict, standing from the basis of mutual concessions,” said Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan in his interview with France’s Le Figaro paper, commenting the process of settlement to the Karabakh conflict.

“We are making utmost efforts in relation to this issue. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is trying to create an illusion that Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh are not interested in conflict’s solving. Sure, this is not true.

“We must put an end to the damaging embargo. The situation in Azerbaijan is different as it hopes can buy weapons and solve the conflict by military meaning, being backed by the natural recourses and petrodollars.

“They don’t keep their intentions secret,” said President Sargsyan.
