RPA: Armenia doesn't aim to resolve Karabakh conflict at any cost
Baku's refusal to sign an agreement on non-use of force proved its reluctance to a constructive resolution of Karabakh conflict, an Armenian official said.

"Armenia's position remains unchanged: it will never agree to unilateral concessions. Nagorno Karabakh can't be a part of Azerbaijan. Compromise is possible only if Azerbaijan and the international community recognize NKR as an independent state. Armenia doesn't aim to resolve Karabakh conflict at any cost," Eduard Sharmazanov, secretary of RPA parliamentary group, told reporters on Friday.

As to RA President's recent statement on possibility of transfer of NKR security area regions, he said the people of Artsakh will themselves decide on the scope of compromise.

Dwelling on domestic situation, Mr. Sharmazanov said he sees no reason for early elections.
