Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said that Azerbaijan unleashed the war, and was defeated in that war; Azerbaijan asked for truce, including from the Commander of Karabakh's forces. "And later Azerbaijan started to sob about the dire repercussions of that war. As if wars ever bring pleasant repercussions. And on top of that, Azerbaijan adopted conceited stance and started to make demands as if anywhere in the world defeated aggressors are ever allowed to make demands," Mr. Sargsyan said during a meeting with journalists from Diaspora in Goris.

"To save their faces, Azeris are resorting to quasi-rhetoric that the Armenians won the war with the assistance of another country. No surprise here, how else can they explain the crushing defeat from a small number of Armenians? But they still have no guts to state officially what country or countries they talk about. Spell it. Spell it, so that it can be proved by the facts that you're lying. What keeps you silent? Now they have decided that Armenia cannot exist on its own and has no future. They feed themselves with these fairytales and got really stunned that the world has quite a different view on a number of issues," the Armenian President said.

Besides, Mr. Sargsyan shared with journalists the results of a study recently conducted by scientists. "A large group of genetics and linguists, all of them non-Armenians, has conducted an intricate and lengthy research. According to the latest results, the Armenian language is at least 8000 years old. It means that as a nation we have been around for the last 8000 years. During those 8000 years many have been trying to teach us things from the position of a larger territory, a larger population, and a larger purse. It's true that at some points they were able to weaken us, but today the absolute majority of them are extinct; they left the stage of history. As for us, we continue our way, calm and confident because we have things to do for the next 8000 years at least," said President Sargsyan.
