Candidate for President of Armenia: "The settlement of the Nagorno-Garabagh conflict must rely on agreements between the so-called "Nagorno-Garabagh Republic" and Azerbaijan"

The due statement was pronounced by candidate for Armenian President Artashes Gegamyan, representing the party of National Unification.

"The compromises for the settlement of Nagorno-Garabagh conflict must rely on agreements between its sides- the so-called "Nagorno-Garabagh Republic" and Azerbaijan, as Armenia and Azerbaijan do not have territorial demands towards each other", the election program of the candidate says.

It is also mentioned in the program that the Garabagh conflict must be settled in the framework of the right of nations for self-determination and recognition of the supremacy of protection of human rights.

Gegamyan considers that the problem settlement must rely on all norms of international law, which will help accelerate the peaceful settlement of the conflict.

"I think the security and development of each conflicting side must be strengthened not at the expense of the weakening of the opposite side, but at the cost of parallel strengthening and development of the sides", the program states.

The candidate also considers that the OSCE Minsk Group remains an appropriate regulator of the negotiation process between the sides.
