“On the one hand the international forces pressure Azerbaijan to
accept that Karabakh (and probably Lachin, too) should be joined to
Armenia, and on the other hand they pressure Armenia to accept that
the liberated territories should be returned to Azerbaijan. I don’t
believe there is an Armenian who wants the liberated territories
to be returned”, Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau
representative Hrant Margaryan told at a conference today.
He noted that the issue can be touched upon during the talks process
for tactical reasons. As for Armenia’s discussion the issue despite
Arkady Ghukasyan’s strict position, H. Margaryan said it has its
positive aspects. “The fact that Azerbaijan negotiates with Armenia
proves that it recognized Karabakh as a part of Armenia. If it doesn’t
it should demand negotiations with Karabakh”, he resumed.
