    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ If Azerbaijan was really ready for war, it would
    have started the war, Galust Sahakyan head of the Republican Party
    of Armenia's parliamentary group told a press conference in Yerevan.

    According to him, there is a clear position of the OSCE Minsk Group,
    stated that in case of war, the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan
    will no longer be discussed and only the issue of self-determination
    of Nagorno Karabakh would be regarded.

    Galust Sahakyan reminded, that Armenia has repeatedly stated that in
    the Karabakh conflict settlement the status of Nagorno Karabakh is
    the priority issue for Armenia. "You must first decide the Karabakh's
    status and only after that to turn to other questions," Sahakian said,
    adding that Armenia guarantees the security of NKR and the rest should
    be decided by the Karabakh people, whether they want to join Armenia
    or not.

    The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in
    1988 as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the
    final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from
    1991 to 1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, Nagorno
    Karabakh and Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions
    of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the control
    of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks
    mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
