We refused to sign the association agreement as this document did not reflect EU’s recognition of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity.

On the other hand, how is it that the EU recognizes the territorial integrity of Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine but steps back when it comes to Azerbaijan?

Pres. Sargsyan is clearly indicating that as a head of state, demanding land from Turkey -- a powerful and menacing neighbor -- could have serious consequences on Armenia’s national security, which is not the case when such claims are made by individuals or organizations.
