YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS. President of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) and the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan told during the meeting of RPA Executive Body that three preconditions must be met for resuming talks on Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement. “Armenpress” reports RPA spokesperson and Vice President of the National Assembly of Armenia Eduard Sharmazanov told the reporters about this after the meeting of the Executive Body. He clarified that the three preconditions are the installation of monitoring mechanisms, addressed statements by the international community, and guarantees that Azerbaijan will not unleash another aggression and terrorism against the people of Nagorno Karabakh.

“For now, it’s early to speak about the resumption of negotiations. When military operations still go on, when they have not been stopped entirely, when Azerbaijan violates both the 1994 ceasefire agreement, signed with Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia, and the verbal armistice agreement reached in Moscow, it is early to speak about resumption of negotiations. The Republic of Armenia remains the security guarantor of the people of Nagorno Karabakh. The conflict must be solved when the people of Nagorno Karabakh implement their right to self-determination, and no one can reach a comprehensive solution without official Stepanakert”, the Vice President of the National Assembly stated.

He informed that during the Executive Body meeting of the party Serzh Sargsyan introduced the results and details of his recent meetings, as well as the situation on Karabakh-Azerbaijan contact line. Domestic political issues were discussed, but the key topic of the discussions was issues referring to foreign policy.
