ArmInfo. It is a must for Armenia to find a proper formula for the peace with all the neighbors including Azerbaijan, and all the resources of Armenian throughout the world should be mobilized for that. This is written in Seyran Ohanyan's statement published at his FB page regarding the paths of Karabakh conflict settlement, which is, according to Ohanyan, one the fundamental problems on the way of state development of Armenia.
" For the development of the our native country and for the peace we should develop a new formula, considering foreign challenges and interests of superpowers," the statement reads. According to Ohanyan, the Karabakh issue is not an obstacle on the way of the coutry development and peace processes. "Right opposite - the opinion stating that Armenia cannot develop unless the Karabakh issue is solved, is wrong. Moreover, this position weakens Armenian side in the negotiation process." Ohanyan noted that it is not the Karabakh issue to be the precondition for the country development, but the country development, first of all - economic development, should be the precondition for the solution of Karabakh issue. The Ex Minister also considers unacceptable any back downs and senseless compromises in the settlement process According to him, that will generate additional risks of new war, and in that case Armenian positions will not be good.
At the same time Ohanyan states he is confident that the peaceful settlement of the problem is available. "We can come to an agreement with Azerbaijan,but we should work hard for that, to create a trustful environment, the negotioations process is impossible to be continued without that. And the agreement with Azerbaijan is possible just and only if Azerbaijan adjudicates the immunity of Nagorno Karabakh," the Ex Minister states.
He also accentuated that the keys to settle the problem are in Yerevan and Stepanakert, which should find the way to find solution with Baku within the condition of adjudication of Nagorno Karabakh as an international entity.
What is to the army, according to the Ex Minister, it is a real security guarantee for Armenia and Armenia people. " It is necessary to continue improving the army, being based on the development of the science- oriented military- industrial complex," Ohanyan accentuates.
