“Armenia has repeatedly declared its devotion to the packet resolution of the conflict on Nagorno Karabakh,” – President of Armenia Robert Kocharian stated at Internet conference held by “GazetaSNG.ru” portal. He stressed that it were not territorial problems but the matter of the people’s self-determination that underlay the Karabakh conflict. Answering the question whether Armenia feared resumption of the war against Nagorno Karabakh by Azerbaijan, the President noted both sides had established rather powerful defense systems during the past years. He said there was much certainty that both in military and political contexts as well as in the country’s people’s opinion, the one who unleashed a new war would lose. Evaluating the potential of the opposing parties, Kocharian pointed out that the Armenian economy development rates were no slower than the Azerbaijani’s. “By the way, – he noted, – oil romanticism in politics disappointed many politicians”.
Concluding his speech he said the main point for Azerbaijan and Armenia and all countries of the Southern Caucasus was to recognize that the most important aim was to win peace.
