Armenian authorities not to allow unilateral concessions with regard to Karabakh

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian authorities will not make unilateral concession with regard to Karabakh, in particular, RA President will never allow NKR to be considered an Azeri-controlled territory, RPA spokesman Edward Sharmazanov told journalists in Yerevan.



NKR's land border with Armenia is very important for Armenian authorities. It is necessary to guarantee the country's security, the speaker said. "NKR people have a right to self-determination, and Azeri colleagues should realize and admit NKR people's right to self-determination and recognize the country's independence," he stated.



Armenia favors peaceful settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict within OSCE MG format. "Turkey cannot be a mediator in talks," Sharmazanov stressed, adding that NKR is a more accomplished, democratic and developed state in comparison with Azerbaijan and Armenia.
