Armenia’s President says waits for Baku’s response

Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan has declared that is expecting a response of Azerbaijani authorities to the proposals delivered in St. Petersburg in relation to the settlement to the Karabakh conflict.

“There were delivered newest proposals made on the basis of the Madrid Document in St, Petersburg. Azerbaijan must answer whether he is accepting those proposals or not. We consider the document provides a platform for continuation of negotiations. So, let’s see what answer Azerbaijan will offer. If Azerbaijan says is accepting the document delivered by the OSCE Minsk Group [Co-Chairs], then the talks will be continued. If no – then, I think, there will be chosen other ways,” said Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan at the meeting with young activists of “Together” Movement.

Armenian President also reminded that the statement of representatives of the chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk Group, which was made in Alma-Ata, reads that the Karabakh conflict must be settled on the basis of three principles of the international law: principle of the territorial integrity, the right to self-determination, and non-use of force.

“We say the conflict must be settled by making mutual concessions. Nothing else is acceptable,” added President Sargsyan.
