Armenia open to compromise over Karabakh – President Sargsian

YEREVAN. May 4

Azerbaijan is employing tactics to protract the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said Armenian President Serzh Sargsian.

“Azerbaijan has chosen as its strategy the policy of protracting the
conflict resolution and, essentially, is waiting for the right moment
to launch a new military escapade,” Sargsian told a press conference
held jointly with Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite in Yerevan
on Wednesday.

Azerbaijan continues to escalate the situation by making “statements
that match no civilized criteria,” Sargsian said.

He also welcomed efforts by the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group and
the Russian president aimed at resolving the Karabakh conflict.

“We are ready and consider it necessary to search for compromises.
However, the resolution requires the same desire on the part of
Azerbaijan,” Sargsian said.

Grybauskaite said that no country will support a military resolution
of the Karabakh conflict.
