Yerevan/Mediamax/. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said that NATO has two options to touch upon Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the document to be adopted at the summit today.

He stated it at the meeting of heads of State and government of NATO-member states and nations involved in International Security Assistance Forces in Afghanistan (ISAF) in Newport on September 4.

 

“Tomorrow here, in this same hall a document will be adopted that will be related to the security of my people and peace in our region. There are two options – either it will adopt the language of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is the only specialized international structure dealing with the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, a language that was proposed and supported by the Co-Chair countries that are represented here by France and the United States of America, or upon the lobbying of another member State it will pass again with an aim to save the face of our tyrant neighbor vis-a-vis his own people. Believe me it will not lead to any positive results. Either the common sense and the strive for peace will have the upper hand, or the silent encouragement of xenophobia will go deepening, the war rhetoric and the deadly provocations, so easily provoked by Azerbaijan, which does not care about its soldiers’ lives and gets enthusiastic with papers like that, will continue ahead,” Serzh Sargsyan stated.

 

Speaking about Armenian’s participation in the operations in Afghanistan the Armenian President recalled that Armenia engaged with the ISAF mission in February, 2010 and tripled its contingent in July, 2011.

 

“In the course of the past four and a half years, the Armenian peacekeepers have gained an invaluable experience in the framework of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. I would especially highlight here the fruitful cooperation Armenia has enjoyed with Germany, which doubtlessly can be viewed as an instance of a best practice and exemplary cooperation between a NATO member and a partner State,” President Serzh Sargsyan said.
