President Armen Sarkissian sent letters to the King and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia on the military actions instigated by Azerbaijan on the line of contact with Nagorno Karabakh

President Armen Sarkissian sent letters to the King of Saudi Arabia and Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, Vice President of the Council of Ministers and Minister of Defense Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud on the Azerbaijani aggression on the border with Armenia and line of contact with Nagorno Karabakh.

In his letters President Sarkissian spoke of the recent aggressive actions by Azerbaijan against the line of contact with Artsakh and noted that the Azeri side is targeting also civilian population.

“Regrettably, Azerbaijan’s intermittent war against the people of Artsakh and the Republic of Armenia is nothing new: for over three decades, Azerbaijan has been exerting to solve the NK issue through military means and wipe out the Armenian population from its Homeland,” the President noted in his letter.

In recent months, the leadership of Azerbaijan reiterated its intention at the highest level to solve the conflict through a war and made such an attempt in last July. Unfortunately, this foreseeable development has not been prevented or thwarted by the international community. The latest attack has not only brought to naught the ongoing peace negotiations, severely undermined the entire peace process but is also posing a grave threat to the stability of the entire region.

President Armen Sarkissian expressed concern with the bellicose rhetoric of the Turkish leadership and underscored that the Turkish side is trying to use the conflict to further its own ends.

Armen Sarkissian appealed to the King and Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia to use their authority and connections at the international arena to stop the bloodshed and human suffering at once.

“The conflict can and will be solved only through negotiations. It has no military solution. We proved it before, we will prove it again,” the President of Armenia underscored.
