Armenia doesn't see alternative to peaceful resolution of Karabakh conflict
"We don't see alternative to a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. I am confident that we perform our mission well enough but we want a peaceful solution to the conflict," Armenian Defense Minister Mikael Harutyunyan said in Astana upon completion of the session of CIS Defense Ministers.

According to him, Safar Abiyev's statement on inevitability of war between Armenia and Azerbaijan is 'too categorical'.

"Minister of Defense has no right to make statements when Supreme Commanders in Chief - the Presidents of the two states - are holding peaceful talks. No one can frighten Armenia with military operations," Harutyunyan said, KAZINFORM reports.
