Absolute majority of modern conflicts are impossible to be solved by force – Armenian Defense 
Minister

YEREVAN, APRIL 28, ARMENPRESS. The 6th conference on International Security Issues has ended in Moscow. The conference was attended by the Defense Minister of Armenia Vigen Sargsyan. As ‘Armenpress” was informed from the press service of MoD Armenia, Vigen Sargsyan gave a speech touching upon the necessity to find new approaches for solving modern conflicts.

“Absolute majority of modern conflicts are impossible to be solved by force. Of course, it’s possible to wreck the negotiation process by escalations, but the consequences of such attempts are difficult to predict, if possible” the Defense Minister said, adding that any military operation or war end by peaceful negotiations, mutual concessions and ceasefire agreements.

“Use of force can never be a conflict settlement option – the price is too high, too much resources are required to restore the damages afterwards, to many human fates are distorted”, Vigen Sargsyan said, emphasizing that in the 21st century efforts should be made to exclude use of force or the threat to use it. “This is what the international community should focus on”, he said.

Vigen Sargsyan mainly focused on the issue of regionalization in his speech. He stated that in the globalized world geographic regionalization no longer plays a vital role. Instead, he classified regions according to some specific features, such as regions of poverty versus regions of welfare, regions of dictatorships versus regions of freedom of speech and democracy and so on. He noted that one country can be in different non-geographic regions at the same time.

Defense Minister Sargsyan noted that there is no single receipt to reach sustainable peace in all these regions, but stated that one thing is of key importance, “Security depends on full understanding of regional peculiarities and taking into account the local peculiarities while establishing a control system”, Vigen Sargsyan said, adding that it’s possible to achieve sustainable and stable results only by refusing any form of double standards.
