YEREVAN, April 29. /ARKA/. Karabakh can’t be satisfied with the global community’s judgments and its stance taken on its conflict with Azerbaijan, Nagorno-Karabakh Republic President Bako Sahakyan said Thursday in an interview with the Armenian Public Television.
In his words, there were also tough judgments among them, but some of them were addressed to both sides, and this couldn’t satisfy the Karabakh side.
“We demanded targeting and pointed out that Azerbaijan’s actions threaten not only to Armenians, but also to the entire international community,” Sahakyan said.
“We can’t say that we are happy about statements and actions of the global community, since we expected they would call on Azerbaijan to order. In such cases the international community resorts even to military actions, since such phenomena threaten the civilized world, human values...”
In his opinion, what Azerbaijan is doing now contain the same threat as developments in other regions of the world, especially actions connected with extremists' activities.
«The international community should revise its approach,» the Karabakh president said in his televised interview.
He also finds it impossible to solve Karabakh problem without participation of Artsakh [Armenian name of Karabakh].
«We have stated that negotiations in a distorted scheme are preferable to us than military actions, but this doesn't mean that we abandon our stance and our principle,» he said. «Our stance has not changed. We will seek Artsakh’s participation in the talks, as before, if they begin.»
However, he said, no signs of probable resumption of the tanks are seen so far.
«What Azerbaijan has ventured, shows no prospects for return to negotiations, but the international community had a chance to see that the Armenian side wants to settle the matter by using negotiation instruments,» Sahakyan said.
On April 2, 2016 Azerbaijan launched military assaults along the entire perimeter of its contact line with Nagorno Karabakh.
A ceasefire arrangement was announced four days later, but the Azerbaijani side violates it every night.
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict broke out in 1998 February when the Nagorno-Karabakh autonomous region announced its secession from Azerbaijan. In September 1991, the region declared itself the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and, over the course of the enduring conflict, Azerbaijan subsequently lost control of the region.
In 1994, a Russia-brokered cease-fire was signed and peace talks have been held since, mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group. --0---
