. Peacekeeping was the main achievement in Karabakh conflict settlement talks, according to Artsakh Republic President.

In an interview with Military Diplomat magazine Bako Sahakyan stressed the necessity of restoring the valid format of conflict settlement talks though including Artsakh in negotiations. “It’s impossible to finalize Karabakh conflict settlement without Artsakh’s involvement,” he stressed.

“We, for our part, are ready for direct talks with Azerbaijan, which we repeatedly stated. I believe the restoration of valid negotiation format is only a matter of time,” he said.

As the President further noted, there are no serious differences in Stepanakert and Yerevan’s negotiations tactics, specifically, considering a number of unsettled issues between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
