Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian stated that he is immediately initiating political consultations.

The President issued a statement which particularly reads:

“The settlement of the Karabakh conflict is a matter of national significance and importance. Any step, action, decision-making related to the vital security interests and rights of Armenia, Artsakh and all Armenian people, especially the signing of any document, should be the subject of comprehensive consultations and discussions.

I emphasize that the fate of Artsakh, therefore, of the Armenian people, can be resolved only taking into account our national interests and only on the basis of a national consensus.

Taking into account the deep concerns of large masses of people conditioned by the current situation, I immediately initiate political consultations in order to coordinate the solutions arising from our agenda of protection of national interests as soon as possible.”
