/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Any referendum in Karabakh will show that Armenians
want to live apart from Azerbaijan, Armenia’s President said in an
interview with BBC Azerbaijan.

Serzh Sargsyan offered his Azerbaijani counterpart Ilham Aiyev to make
investments in Karabakh, if Baku is really interested in welfare and
security of NKR population.

However, Mr Sargsyan has never said that "thanks to such investments,
Armenians of Karabakh can agree to live within Azerbaijan", as it’s
reported by the Azeri media. On the contrary, he emphasized that if
Karabakh is returned to Azerbaijan, no Armenian will remain there in
a short period of time.

The RA leader’s press office told PanARMENIAN.Net that the Azeri
media distorted the President’s words. "It’s quite impossible. The
Azeri media, as usual, torn out some phrases from the context and
tried to pass the desirable for reality," the press office said.
