In this context, he has emphasized the strict maintenance of the ceasefire regime.

Reminding that in the coming year markes the Centennial of the Armenian Genocide, Galust Sahakyan has noted that Armenia continues to be consistent for the international recognition of the Genocide, as leaving such crimes agains humanity unpunished is the same as to allow its repetition.
