Serzh Sargsyan:

Azerbaijan bears full responsibility for the death of soldiers on the border, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said during his working visit to Gegharkunik region on November 26.  

The head of the state pointed out that the death of a soldier matters much for Armenia, and everybody should remember this. The president also stressed that it will always be unquiet on the border until the Karabakh problem is resolved.

"We do not want this situation to cause human victims", he said.  Sargsyan expressed confidence that in the course of time, this unquiet situation will calm down. This is the desire of the Armenian party, he said. 

To recall, on November 19-20 two soldiers - Aren Simonyan and Mihran Margaryan - were killed by Azerbaijani snipers in Karabakh.

Resolution 1325 recognised that women must be included in peace processes, and that conflict affects women and girls differently. Over the years, the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda has produced an extensive body of rhetoric: national action plans, reporting frameworks, new Security Council resolutions and regular open debates.
