PRESIDENT ROBERT KOCHARIAN’S SPEECH AT THE EURO-ATLANTIC PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL SUMMIT

Support A1+!

As we have already demonstrated in Paris and Key West, we are strongly committed to a comprehensive peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabagh conflict.

Such a settlement requires that all sides acknowledge and tackle the root causes of the conflict, rather than try to deal with the consequences.

If Azerbaijan had accepted the proposed settlement, we would have already been halfway through the implementation of the peace agreement.

Effective regional cooperation and renouncing hostile propaganda would have significantly enhanced the potential of peace process.

We are responsible to our peoples and to the world to take the steps to reach a lasting peace .
