NKR PRESIDENT: TODAY IT’S SENSELESS TO SPEAK ABOUT RETURN OF ANY
TERRITORIES
STEPANAKERT, JUNE 22, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. “Today it’s
senseless to speak about return of any territories as Azerbaijan’s
position in the issue of Nagorno Karabakh’s status isn’t clear yet.
When we see a constructive position on the part of Azerbaijan, we will
be ready for being constructive, too,” NKR President Arkadi Ghukasian
declared. According to the Liberty radio station, NKR President also
mentioned that all issues need to be solved, including issues
connected with status, security, refugees and territories. Nagorno
Karabakh is ready to discuss the above-mentioned issues. Answering the
radio station’s question, NKR President said that there have always
been contradictions with Armenian authorities but these contradictions
“aren’t strategic.” “There are points, around which we argue, try to
persuade them of the rightness of our opinion and I consider that this
is a normal process,” A.Ghukasian mentioned. As regards possible
return of liberated territories, Grisha Hayrapetian, representative of
the ARFD Artsakh Central Committee, declared to the radio station: “We
consider that Karabakh should have its Constitution that should also
mention these territories, and any of our Presidents should take an
oath on this document. Otherwise, it’s impossible to live in Karabakh
without these territories.”
