RA NA offers President to brisk up efforts for Karabakh settlement
The Armenian National Assembly passed Tuesday the statement on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. The document backed by all parliamentary factions, with exception of Heritage faction which did not take part in the vote, expresses concern over the latest developments.

The statement included two amendments, the first describing Armenia as the guarantor of Nagorno Karabakh's security and the second determining peaceful talks as the only way of the conflict settlement.

The MPs offer the President to brisk up the efforts for resolution of the Karabakh conflict, undertake measures to fully inform the international community of the problem, work out legal acts allowing Armenia to ensure Karabakh's security in case of Azerbaijan's aggression.

The document warns against "dangerous consequences of Azerbaijani top officials' warlike statements aimed to hamper the peaceful process, blackmail policy toward the OSCE Minsk Group and attempts to transfer discussions to various international structures," Novosti Armenia reports.
