The success of the negotiations on Karabakh depends on the reduction
of the level of tension on the line of contact of the Armenian and
Azeri troops, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said.

“I think it is necessary to reiterate that the success of the
negotiations essentially depends on how we will prepare our peoples
for peace, how we will be able to stop the negative rhetoric and
reduce the tensions on the line of contact,” Sargsyan said at the
Vilnius summit on Friday.

Sargsyan said Armenia and Nagorny Karabakh now refrain from statements
and steps that may destabilize the situation, the Armenian presidential
press service told Interfax.

The president of Armenia also gave positive marks to his meeting with
his Azeri counterpart Ilhom Aliyev in Vienna on November 19.

“Although it is too early to speak about the results, the fact of
the meeting is a positive thing in itself,” Sargsyan said.
