In case the enemy resorts to a new military provocation, Armenia will
without fail force it into peace, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
stated at Aug. 30 conference of Armenia's foreign office staff and
heads of Armenia's diplomatic missions. The conference was held at
the Karen Demirchyan sports & concert complex in Yerevan.
"This year we have seen how Southern Sudan, after decades of struggle,
gained independence, thus becoming one more instance in international
practice. In the case of Artsakh [Nagorno-Karabakh] a similar end is
inevitable as well despite the fact that, for the present, I cannot
speak of Azerbaijan taking a softer line on the Nagorno-Karabakh
peace process.
"I am sure that we are well-informed of this process and have
to deal with relevant issues in your daily work. When we say
that the international community's approaches to settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are identical to Armenia's official
approaches, which we have repeatedly stated for years, it is not at
all a propaganda device.
"Our clear position and confident behavior, arguments for our concerns
and readiness to assume responsibility have enabled us to get the
international community to accept our approaches as most realistic
and peace-building. Evidence thereof is the recent high-level official
statements. The addressee of the messages is well known as well.
"I am sure that many of us share the opinion that Baku is not ready
for peace because peace is impossible to establish when war is being
advocated. Societies cannot be reconciled when hatred for Armenians
is being stirred up nor can confidence be built when arms race is
being provoked.
"Be sure that Armenia will without fail force the enemy into peace
in case it resorts to a new military provocation," the Armenian
leader said.
