Karabakh says conflict can't be resolved through concessionsMay 14, 2016 - 16:16 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A spokesperson for the Nagorno Karabakh President called international mediators to revise their approaches in order to ease tensions over Nagorno Karabakh. “What mediators need to do now is to revise their approaches and take specific steps to settle the problem, first and foremost by deploying mechanisms to investigate ceasefire violations,” Tert.am cited David Babayan as saying. Asked whether Azerbaijan’s aggression implies ambitions to force more concessions from Armenia, the spokesperson gave a negative response. “I believe Azerbaijan's disgraceful conduct during this war ruled out any possibility for concessions,” he said. “The conflict, in general, can't be resolved through concessions; mutual compromises will work at best. Unilateral concessions, on the other hand, would lead to tragedies.” Babayan cited mutual agreement rather than ultimatums by mediators as an effective tool to settle the conflict. Describing Azerbaijan as a terrorist state capable of only committing crimes against humanity, the spokesperson noted that the country employs blackmail and commits crimes to push forward with its own interests. Commenting on possible outcomes of the Armenian-Azerbaijani presidential talks in Vienna, Babayan again stressed the importance of establishing ceasefire monitoring mechanisms.
