“Firstly, the territories which are under the control of NKR, Armenia are the guarantor of both NKR territorial integrity and our physical safety, there are people in that territory, how do you imagine those people leaving?

If president Hollande also intends to host a meeting, it’ll be very good, president Obama also had such meetings in Washington D.C. in April.”
