He was commenting on the recent statement by Sargsyan, who claimed Nagorno-Karabakh is an integral part of Armenia.
"By this statement Armenian president admitted a gross violation of the principles of international law", - he added.
Armenian President made the statement at the meeting of the Armenian State Commission on Coordination of the events dedicated to the commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the so-called Armenian genocide.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. As a result of the ensuing war, in 1992 Armenian armed forces occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
The two countries signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, France and the US are currently holding peace negotiations. Armenia has not yet implemented the UN Security Council`s four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
