Armenian Defense Minister: "Nagorno Karabakh issue has already been settled by force"

"Campaign on bellicose rhetorics in Azerbaijan and distortion of historical facts started in the 1980s. Azerbaijan has once used the armed way of the conflict resolution. Nagorno Karabakh issue has been settled by force and now it should be brought to its logical end by diplomatic ways", noted Seyran Ohanyan at a meeting with the audience of the summer school of Ararat Strategic Research Center, according to Armenia's public television.

Ohanyan also noted that one of the directions for overcoming the problems, facing Armenia, is national solidarity. According to the Ministry, in the moment of threats, Armenian people demonstrate unity, but uses peace time not effectively to prepare for future threats.

"In conditions of growing threat, there is no alternative to unity. Turkey keeps a whole army on the Armenian border. Baku voices bellicose statements at times and distorts the historical facts", concluded the Armenian Defense Minister.
