I am ready to meet with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Armenian President Serj Sargsyan told Sputnik News Agency, AzVision.az reports.

Whether it is on the presidential, foreign ministerial, even working level. However, we always call for these meetings to be useful and bring progress. Armenia is ready to sign an agreement on the investigation of ceasefire violations in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone. `

No Need to Establish New Russian Military Bases in Armenia

There is no need to establish new Russian military bases in Armenia, it would be enough to expand the capacity of the existing one in Gyumri, President Sargsyan told Sputnik.

"I do not believe that there is no need for the establishment of new military base in Armenia, because the military base is able to take in all elements which may be needed. Therefore, one military base is enough for the small Armenia, it is just necessary to give military power to the Gyumri base," Sargsyan said.
