ACCORDING TO BAKO SAHAKIAN, COMING MEETING OF ARMENIAN AND AZERI
PRESIDENTS CAN BE CONSIDERED AS PROGRESS
7
YEREVAN, MAY 27, NOYAN TAPAN. NKR President Bako Sahakian considers
that the meeting between Armenian and Azeri Presidents envisaged on
June 7 in Saint Petersburg can be considered as progress. The NKR
President said in his interview to journalists. As he evaluated, the
situation on the contact-line of NKR and Azeri armed forces is the
following: "there have always been shots, we do our best to reduce
these shots."
In response to a journalist’s question he said that he has received a
letter from freedom-fighter Zhirayr Sefilian and is going to answer it:
he means Sefilian’s request to give him a political asylum. B. Sahakian
considers inadmissible to artificially politicize the issue of Z.
Sefilian’s being granted citizenship or not. According to him, doing a
military service to Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia cannot be a
justification for anti-legal actions.
