Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said that Armenia hails Lithuania’s willingness to facilitate the Karabakh conflict settlement.

“Armenia aspires solely towards a peaceful resolution of the Karabakh problem,” Sargsyan told a joint press conference with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite in Yerevan.

Mr. Sargsyan expressed regret over the fact that Azerbaijan continues exacerbating the situation and making statements that do not contribute to the negotiation process for the conflict settlement.

“Azerbaijan has chosen the policy of postponement; it waits for a good opportunity for itself to launch a new military adventure,” noted Sargsyan.

He hailed the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen’s and Russian President’s efforts aimed at a peaceful resolution of the conflict, adding that Yerevan is ready to continue the negotiations.

“We think it is necessary to look for compromises, but Azerbaijan should display similar willingness to reach the conflict settlement,” concluded Sargsyan.
