NOT WITHOUT THE NAGORNYY KARABAKH REPUBLIC

The leader of the "Armenian Revolutionary Federation – Dashnaktsutyun
– Movement 88" faction of the Nagornyy Karabakh parliament,
Armen Sargsyan, told Haykakan Zhamanak: "In my opinion, the Madrid
principles [of the Karabakh settlement] are not acceptable [to Nagornyy
Karabakh]. The self-determination of Nagornyy Karabakh should be
based on the territorial integrity of the Nagornyy Karabakh republic –
with its current borders [including the currently Armenian-controlled
Azerbaijani territories around Karabakh]."
Sargsyan said that if any country wants to act as a mediator, then
this mediation should be aimed only at signing an agreement on
non-resumption of war.
"Karabakh should negotiate all other issues with Azerbaijan, and
Armenia should be the guarantor of Karabakh’s independence and
security," Sargsyan said.
