Armenia President: No peace is possible without fair Karabakh settlement

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian President Armen Sarkissian believes it is impossible to establish lasting peace and stability in the region without achieving a fair resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

Addressing reporters after a meeting with his Georgian counterpart Salome Zourabichvili, Sarkissian stressed the importance of resuming the peace talks within the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmanship.

The President said he and Zourabichvili discussed issues of security and stability in the region, taking into account the reality after Azerbaijan, with Turkey's support, launched a war against Artsakh (Karabakh). Sarkissian said he has also detailed his Georgian counterpart on issues of preserving Armenian cultural heritage in territories that have gone under Azerbaijan's control.
