YEREVAN. - Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's speech at the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) was positive
with some reservations from conceptual point of view, leader of
ARF Dashnaktsutyun Supreme Body Armen Rustamyan stated prior to the
party's general meeting in Yerevan on Friday.
Rustmayan believes, the principle of territorial integrity was
overemphasized.
"Armenia should have explained non-recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh
not by the principle of territorial integrity, but by a concession to
maintain the normal course of peace talks and refrain from unilateral
steps in the negotiation process. However, Armenia has every reason
for recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh," he noted.
According to Rustamyan, the president also wrongfully emphasized
allegations that Azerbaijan is more prepared for the war than Armenia
in case military hostilities resume. The MP believed, Sargsyan's words
were perceived as such although he didn't intentionally said that.
