Karabakh conflict

There is a united viewpoint in Artsakh – "International recognition
of NKR with the supremacy of the national security system"

NKR parliament’s Foreign Relations Commission Chairman Vahram Atanesian
in a press conference announced that his answers do not present the
official position of NKR.

He mentioned that at present there is only one issue on the agenda
of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh – international recognition of
NKR with the supremacy of the national security system within the
borders acceptable to the people of NKR.

The acceptable borders are fixed by NKR constitution, and the liberated
territories are defined as security zone.

NKR parliamentary hearings on international recognition of NKR have
started two years ago and go on until now.

"The second stage of the hearings was held two weeks ago", said
Vahram Atanesian.

Though NKR is not a party to the negotiation process, the NKR MP
excludes the possibility of compulsion of any variant of settlement
by the official Yerevan.

The Moscow declaration, according to Vahram Atanesian, cannot be a
document to predetermine the settlement.

"If an agreement is reached to settle the conflict, NKR signature
will be on that document".

According to Vahram Atanesian, who takes into consideration the
discussions in Armenia on both political and expert levels, there is
not a united viewpoint in Armenia on the settlement of the conflict. In
contrast to it, there is a united viewpoint in Artsakh – international
recognition of NKR with the supremacy of the national security system.

Moreover, the difference of the positions will lead to a "positive"
solution.

To the question of "Azg" daily about the recent announcement of the
OSCE Minsk Group Russian Co-chair Yuri Merzlyakov that the territories
will be retuned in case of proper replacement embracing international
guarantees, Vahram Atanesian underlined that the mediators can comment
on the situation differently, but NKR is not inclined to take the
viewpoint of any mediator or expert as an absolute truth".

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
