Serzh Sargsyan: Armenia will be forced to recognize de jure independence of separatist Nagorno-Karabakh

Armenia will be forced to recognize the de jure independence of Nagorno Karabakh in case of military actions on the part of Azerbaijan  and take measures to ensure the safety of the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on Friday at the CSTO summit in Moscow, RIA Novosti reported.

"Armenia is totally against solving the problem through military means, and Armenia will have no choice but to de jure recognize Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and ensure its safety by all means in case of Azerbaijan's new military adventures," Sargsyan said.
