“I believe it’s a matter of time and hard work. Nagorno Karabakh Republic really deserves international recognition. We have been building a democratic state for over a quarter of century that does not endanger the international community or any other separate state,” NKR President said.
“This issue was raised yesterday in the US Department of State. There was an urge from our side to the Armenian authorities regarding resolving the situation professionally and with restraint. Now it’s time, that all Armenians display respect for the rule of law for the situation to resolve peacefully, which, in my opinion, is what everyone wants,” Ambassador Mills said.
The National Security Service once more states that the measures taken are specific and highly professional, thus, the persons organizing and conducting those measures do not need outside intervention and assistance. Armenian law enforcement agencies are on standby, however, till now there are no necessary prerequisites for them to engage.”
“We want to see political change through democratic processes,” added Toner. “And so we would certainly want to caution anybody who thinks that violence is a plausible way to achieve any political aims.”
“The occurrence was qualified as a failed attempt of military coup. Military officers in Istanbul stopped the traffic on all the bridges, few movements were observed in different parts of the city. In Ankara, where I live, 2-3 military helicopters were flying rather low targeting some parts of the city, including the Police department of the Parliament. While attacking the Parliament building shooting from the helicopter was recorded. The eyewitnesses claim that civilians have been killed as well.”

“It’s very difficult to give advice to the authorities, who allowed such developments throughout recent years, and in the situation in which meetings of Armenian and Russian delegations of armed forces to discuss issues of united system, is the continuation of the system of issues, which have been recorded throughout recent years.”
The US and Russia are working on a number of different issues, including resolving the Armenia-Azerbaijan Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the US Secretary of State John Kerry said in an interview with NBC.
“In this regard, frankly speaking, I’m very content and happy. I need to add one point, if negotiations aren’t disrupted, in this case, it’s anticipated that steps increasing tension and leading to sharpening of the situation from both sides were excluded. In that case it’s clear, who’s the initiator of the steps throughout last 15 hours. Accordingly, I repeat, I want to believe to the assurance, that negotiations aren’t disrupted, but if they’re not disrupted, sharpening shouldn’t be observed as well,” Yenigomshyan said.
