ArmInfo. RA Defense Minister Mikael Harutyunyan sees no alternative
to peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict.

As the RIA "Novosti" reports, RA DM emphasized that "we see no
alternative to peaceful settlement". "Our presidents negotiate on
peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict", he told journalists
in Astana on Tuesday upon completion of the session of the CIS DMs
Council. Harutyunyan called the statement of Azerbaijani Defense
Minister Safar Abiyev about inevitability of the military conflict
between Armenia and Azerbaijan "too categorical".

"This is not the defense minister’s right to make such statements when
the supreme commanders, the presidents of our countries, negotiate
on peaceful settlement of the problem", RA DM said.
