RIGA, 21 MAY, ARMENPRESS. Talking about the securing of cooperation and security in Europe, President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan touched upon the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict during the summit of the European People’s Party being held in Riga. “The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict continues to be a serious challenge for security in the region and in Europe. Azerbaijan continues with its provocations, threats and anti-Armenian propaganda, prolonging the regulation of the conflict. The anti-Armenian campaign is being carried out with crude violations of human rights in Azerbaijan, and the regime’s opponents have been viewed as Armenia’s agents for a long time now.

The partners in Europe must react to the irresponsible steps of Azerbaijan posing a threat to our regional security. There is a need for an adequate evaluation of those steps,” Serzh Sargsyan mentioned, as the Public Relations and Mass Media Department of the Structure to the Office of the President of the Republic of Armenia reports to “Armenpress”.

The President of the Republic of Armenia urged to not give in to Azerbaijan’s destructive initiatives at different international levels and not share the responsibility for the escalation of tension in the region.
