ArmInfo. The conflict in Karabakh is not finally resolved, Armenian Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan said in an interview with RIA Novosti.
"Before talking about a peace agreement, it is necessary to state a simple fact: the Karabakh conflict is not completely resolved. This conflict cannot be resolved by force or by the threat of force. By resorting to military aggression in September 2020, the Azerbaijani leadership violated one of the three basic principles underlying the peaceful settlement of the conflict: the principle of non - use of force or threat of force," Grigoryan said.
As the Secretary of the Security Council pointed out, there are principles that have been agreed upon for many years, and the settlement of the conflict should be based on them. "On this issue, the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries also stand in solidarity with us, in their latest joint statement, which stressed that the settlement of the conflict should take place "on the basis of principles and elements well known to the parties," he said.
The Secretary of the Security Council of Armenia believes that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev " not only denies the objective fact of the unresolved conflict, but also tries to aggravate the enmity between the two peoples by all means." "For example, when he opens the so-called "trophy park", makes delusional statements about Zangezur, destroys the Armenian spiritual and cultural heritage in the occupied territories of Artsakh( self-name of Karabakh-ed.), desecrates not only the graves of the soldiers of the First Karabakh War, but also the monuments to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War, how can you think about a peace treaty? When Azerbaijan shows a reasonable approach, takes rational steps and is ready to conduct a constructive dialogue, then it will be possible to think about a peace agreement, " Armen Grigoryan said.
