    The ongoing processes in the South Caucasus are complicated and hard
    to predict. They are at the junction of interests of the regional
    force centers, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan says in his address
    to the participants of international conference "Regional Security
    Dynamics in the South Caucasus" in Yerevan. The address was read out
    by Chairman of the Political Science Association of Armenia, Doctor
    of Political Science Hayk Kotanjian.

    "This fact creates challenges for the countries of the region and opens
    new opportunities. The foreign policy of Armenia is based on mutually
    beneficial cooperation with global and regional players. We are sure
    that open borders and implementation of joint economic projects can
    stimulate establishment of atmosphere of confidence in the region",
    Sargsyan says in the address.

    The address also points out that in order to establish stability
    in the South Caucasus region it is important to settle the regional
    conflicts exclusively in the peaceful way on the basis of international
    legal norms. "The only acceptable format of the Karabakh conflict
    settlement for Armenia is the OSCE Minsk Group. I'd like to point out
    that ensuring physical security of Karabakh people and their right
    to self-determination is the pledge of long-term peace and stability
    in the region", the president says in his address. In this context,
    he adds that it is very important to return Nagorno-Karabakh to the
    negotiation table.

    He also stresses in his address that Azerbaijan's xenophobia against
    Armenians and Beku's aggressive statements are escalating the tension
    in the South Caucasus. "In the current situation, Armenia has to pay
    special attention to its defensive system as a factor restraining the
    Azerbaijani aggression and ensuring stability in the South Caucasus",
    he says.

    Serzh Sargsyan says in his address that unlike Ankara, Yerevan remains
    committed to its initiative to normalize relations with Turkey.
