Armenia’s president said he learnt about statement on ending Karabakh war from press
Armenia’s President Armen Sarkissian said he learnt about the agreement on ending the war from media.
“I have learnt from press about the signing of statement by presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan on ending the Karabakh war. I have learnt about the terms of ending the war from press. Unfortunately, no consultations, no discussions were conducted with me, as president of the republic, and I did not participate in any negotiations,” Armenia’s President said.
“Karabakh conflict settlement is the matter of state importance. Each step, each actions, each decision regarding vital interests of the security and rights of Armenia, Artsakh and the whole nation, and especially signing of document must become subject for consultations and discussions by all the sides. I stress that Artsakh’s fate and consequently the people of Armenia can be decided only based on our national interests and only based on national consensus,” Sarkissian said.
Taking into account the deep concern of a large mass of the people due to the current situation, I am immediately initiating political consultations in order to agree on solutions arising from our agenda for the protection of national interests as soon as possible, the president stressed.
“As the President of the Republic, at this crucial moment of national preservation, I consider the formation of national unity to be my urgent mission. I hope that within ten days we will all be able to form a unity in which I will consider that I have used the opportunities of my service to the Motherland,” he said.
