    ARMENIA WILL RETALIATE HEAVILY IF AZERBAIJAN DARES ANOTHER ADVENTURE IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH - PRESIDENT SARGSYAN SAYS

    YEREVAN, April 7. / ARKA /. Armenia will retaliate heavily if
    Azerbaijan dares another adventure in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    zone, Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with
    Russian Rossiya -24 TV channel.

    "We believe that the principles and elements contained in the six
    statements made by the heads of US, France and Russia, the countries
    co-chairing the OSCE Minsk Group, and the document, which is used as
    a basis for us and Azerbaijan to continue the talks are acceptable
    for settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict", said Sargsyan.

    According to him, the consensus opinion of the co-charring countries
    is that these principles and elements make one whole and no principle
    must prevail over the others.

    "Of course, we share the view of the co-chairs that peoples need to
    be prepared for peace not war, but, unfortunately, the Azerbaijani
    leadership does the contrary," Sargsyan said.

    He said neither international peace brokers not officials dealing
    with the conflict doubt that the tension is to be blamed on Azerbaijan.

    Sargsyan stressed that the Azerbaijani leadership does not even hide
    it having said at the Munich Security Conference that the tension
    will continue as long as Armenians do not surrender the regions
    surrounding Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Sargsyan reminded that the Karabakh army was forced to create
    a security zone for the population to escape daily shelling by
    Azerbaijani troops.

    "The government of Azerbaijan does not care about the principles
    and elements offered by the co-chairs for seeking a solution to the
    conflict,' the president said.

    The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict erupted into armed clashes after the
    collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s as the predominantly
    Armenian-populated enclave of Azerbaijan sought to secede from
    Azerbaijan and declared its independence backed by succeeding
    referendum. A truce was brokered by Russia in 1994, although no
    permanent peace agreement has been signed.

    Since then, Nagorno-Karabakh and several adjacent regions have been
    under the control of Armenian forces of Karabakh. Nagorno-Karabakh
    is the longest-running post-Soviet era conflict and has continued
    to simmer despite the relative peace of the past two decades, with
    snipers causing tens of deaths a year. -0--
