Armenia seeks peaceful settlement of Karabakh conflict, but ready to war
We seek peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict, but we are ready to war, Hovik Abrahamyan , RA NA speaker told the 12th Congress of the Republican Party of Armenia. "There are no legal arguments, saying that the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic was formed in the territories of Azerbaijan, and no international standards the legitimacy of the republic could contradict with," Mr. Abrahamyan said, adding that Armenia must achieve international recognition of NKR people's right to self-determination.

The presidential elections followed by the internal political crisis in the country, Hovik Abrahamyan said. "Serge Sargsyan's proposal on cooperation between Armenia's political forces helped to get out of this crisis," Hovik Abrahamyan concluded.
