Approved in January of this year, the Strategy of Armenia’s National Security states: “…the Republic of Armenia is committed to settling the conflict only in a peaceful way on the basis of mutual compromises. The legal bases of the declaration of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) are irreproachable. Constantly proceeding from the principle that any final agreement or ultimate document must get the approval of the Karabakh side, Armenia finds it acceptable only those variants of settlement that will be aimed at the consolidation of the irreversibility of the reality of the NKR’s factual existence. Nagorno-Karabakh must have a territorial link with Armenia. Security must be guaranteed.”
