“I am impatiently waiting for this meeting. We hope the sides will sum up the OSCE agreement on implementing investigative mechanisms and will restore talks for comprehensive peace agreement,” he said.
“In principal, if president Putin, like president Medvedev used to be, were committed to creating a breakthrough and hoping to finalize the basic principles of the settlement, that would be great. I don’t believe what he wants to do, I believe what he wants to do is leave the impression among the presidents Sargsyan and Aliyev, that only he, president Putin is a real player in this.”
“We are convinced, that all those crisis situations would be more easily settled in case of overcoming systemic shortcomings in the field of pan-European cooperation, annulation of maintained dividing line,” he said, calling to initiate a common economic and humanitarian domain, which will stretch from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and will be based on equal and inseparable security architecture.
“Firstly, one should anticipate sharpening of situation on the contact line. It’s a good tradition of Ilham Aliyev to shell villages of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh prior to any meeting or summit linked to Karabakh-Azerbaijan conflict, launching unmanned aerial vehicles, attempt to anger the negotiating parties and mediators. I don’t have any expectation of a breakthrough outcome.”
We should do everything. I’m not saying there is no need for the time being, that need is always available, 24 hours a day. However, we have President, National Assembly, Prime Minister and they are all able to raise the issues in political instances and protect. If needed and the Catholicos interferes we will surely bring our participation as well.
The Defense Ministry of Nagorno Karabakh informs that overnight June 9-10 the situation was relatively calm in Nagorno Karabakh-Azerbaijan line of contact.
“The existent situation in Nagorno-Karabakh, in particular, the tension, allow Moscow to show itself from political interest perspective more and more, increasing its presence on the conflict zone. In my conviction currently, as media outlets report Lavrov’s document is on Russian presidential table.
If there is military threat, the Armenian side will manage its forces, we have touched upon it,” he said, adding that the system activates information exchange between the countries, by that making air defense productive. ”Armenia’s president manages his forces,” Tsyganok concluded.
The President said the Armenian community in Belgium had always played an active role in supporting the Motherland, and expressed hope that such a patriotic activity will expand during the upcoming years.
A collective security deal on a united regional air defense system in the Caucasus, which should be discussed in the National Assembly these days, in fact, is much more dangerous, than simple concerns, that upon that agreement the right to make decisions in Armenia’s air defense system will be provided to Russia.
