Azerbaijan’s efforts to impart religious context to the Nagorno Karabakh issue seem absurd to anyone familiar with the history of the conflict, according to Armenian President.

“However, people’s unawareness is what Baku’s propaganda thrives on,” Serzh Sargsyan stressed at a joint briefing with Lebanese President Michel Sleiman.

“Continued anti-Armenian propaganda may have dramatic repercussions,” President Sargsyan said.

On December 8, Mr. Sleiman arrived in Armenia on the invitation of Armenian leader Serzh Sargsyan. A meeting with President Sargsyan, Armenian officials as well as Catholicos of All Armenians His Holiness Karekin II are on the agenda. Also, agreements to promote development of bilateral relations will be signed during the visit.
