Today, President Armen Sarkissian met with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the RF to the Republic of Armenia Sergei Kopirkin.
The interlocutors referred to the statement and its provisions signed by the Prime Minister of Armenia, the Presidents of Russia and Azerbaijan on the complete cessation of all hostilities in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict zone.
President Sarkissian noted that the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is a matter of national significance, and it is natural that any decision-making related to it, especially the signing of a document, provokes a sharp reaction and often an uprising among the people.
President Sarkissian underscored the important mediating role of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries, especially the Russian Federation, in cessation of hostilities.
The need for security and lasting peace throughout the region was stressed during the meeting.
