“Mr. Medvedev, I am sure you know that the fact that the Azeris have used with the entire force weapons they have acquired recently from Russia strongly resonated in Armenia. It is quite understandable since at the public level in Armenia Russia is perceived as the closest ally and friend. Today, we cannot rule out a possibility of yet another threat because yesterday and also today these provocations in mass media continue and we, of course, have no great illusions. Nevertheless we anticipate from the Co-Chairs of the Minsk Group and our allies targeted statements and certain actions, because the second phase, I believe will result in a large-scale operation since from the very beginning we, as a party of the 1994 Ceasefire Agreement, couldn’t stay away from all this. “
“If people have the possibility to sell weaponry, people have the opportunity to purchase weaponry. If you want them by it from Turkey, in any case, if they wish, and if they have the opportunity, they’ll buy it not from Russia, but from Turkey.”
“We don’t intend to touch upon any baseless conversation. Today we signed documents with RF Prime Minister, and I consider, we’ll provide clarifications to the press in the upcoming days,” the Prime Minister said.
“The importance of the ceasefire was stressed, the 1994 truce maintenance and strengthening, and the exclusively peaceful settlement within the OSCE Minsk group. It’s important that the ceasefire was maintained and the conflict is settled by political process, through diplomats, not armed forces, so that people don’t lose their lives. Russia is ready to use its influence for the political settlement of the conflict, within the OSCE Minsk group, so that the escalation of the conflict is excluded, as it’s full of dangerous risks,” Medvedev said.
Artsakh Armenians have chosen the path of building their own destiny in accordance with democratic principles. This was said by the Artsakh Republic President Bako Sahakyan during a press conference in Stepanakert.

The delegation headed by Dmitry Medvedev, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, arrived in Armenia on an official visit. Hovik Abrahamyan, Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia, greeted his Russian counterpart in the “Zvartnots” airport of Yerevan.
“With moderation we can reach our goals faster … Trusting or distrusting others cannot be 100 percent … To progress, we need to have interaction with the world,” Rouhani said. Earlier this week, Khamenei said that the United States was a “symbol of dishonesty” and that it should not be trusted, emphasizing that Iran should be self-sufficient.
Advanced detachments of the NKR Defense Army promptly detected the advancement attempt of adversary’s group and resorted to an organized defense. In the result of close combat, the adversary was pushed back, leaving dead Bayramov Vagif Dilgam (born in 1979), the Capitan of Azerbaijani Armed Force.
The very fact that at this difficult moment I am here is more than just a testimony to the importance which Armenia attaches to the bilateral relations as well as to Germany’s role as the country presiding in the OSCE,” said the President of Armenia.
