Armenian President see no threat of war resumption in the near future.
"The key to the Karabakh conflict settlement is not only in Armenia's hands. The solution depends on all the parties – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Karabakh and OSCE Minsk Group",- Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said to journalists in Tavush region.
The president said that if the problem is settled on the basis of the principle of Nagorno-Karabakh people's right to self-determination, the rest of the problems may be solved within the shortest period of time. Serzh Sargsyan advised the Armenian public not to believe in the "tales" of the people saying that Armenia is allegedly in a bad state at present and that the negotiations are currently being held badly and with wrong arguments.
"This is spoken about by the people, who used to be responsible for the peace process and they had an opportunity to settle this conflict in Armenia's favor. However, unfortunately, the fight is going on",- said the president and added that history judges everything and several years later it will be
possible to say who was negotiating correctly, and who - incorrectly.
"There has always been a threat of war resumption",- said Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan during a press-conference in the resort town of Dilijan.
According to him, there was a threat of war resumption in 1995, 2000 and 2005, and it remains today. "There will be a threat of war until peace and stability are established in our region",- he said. Sargsyan added that such threats become objective for Armenian people when Azeris display militarist behavior without any grounds. "I see no advantages among Azeris as compared with us",- said Sargsyan.
The president expressed confidence that both opposition and authorities have people, who will find themselves in the front line in case of resumption of the military actions. At the same time, the president said: "I see no threat of war resumption in the near future". He added that the defense minister should always expect military actions to start even tomorrow. "Therefore the defense ministry and the whole ministry staff are working day and night. Our army is battle-worthy, and in case of war we cannot be taken aback",- he said.
