Armenian President Armen Sarkissian informed his Georgian counterpart Salome Zourabichvili of Armenia’s stance on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue. He said lasting peace in the region is linked to the fair resolution of a conflict.

President Sarkissian discussed regional security and stability issues during the meeting with the Georgian President on Thursday.

“We touched upon Tukey’s active support against Nagorno-Karabakh in light of the new reality created by the military aggression of Azerbaijan. I stressed the need for an immediate resolution of a dare humanitarian issues created by war. I also focused on the abuse of the post-war situation by Azerbaijan. Xenophobia, insult of national dignity, the policy inadmissibility that impedes the dialogue. On top of that, I touched upon the issue of Azerbaijani-controlled territories, the issue of protection of the Armenian historical, cultural and spiritual heritage placed in these territories,” Sarkissian added.

Armenian President hoped Salome Zourabichvili would visit Armenia shortly.
