‘My opinion about Baku's invitation ( sent to Armenia) is normal, but for our participation to become a reality, this enmity (against Armenia) must be terminated and Baku must show that peace prevails in its goals and programmes. The inviting party should also create such conditions,’ Kocharyan told Azatutyun Radio.
