The recognition of the present territories of Turkey is incorrect,
if the independence of Artsakh is not recognized de facto, said Samvel
Babayan the former army commander and defense minister of the NKR.
"If in the case of Turkey we try to turn de facto into de jure,
Azerbaijan has to recognize the territory of Artsakh in the same
way. Is this variant acceptable?", – said the speaker and added, if
the diplomatic bodies mention that there has not been any pressure on
Armenia from outside so the latter can also hold talks with Azerbaijan
for Azerbaijan to recognize the independence of the present territory
of Artsakh.
"Can we do that much? I doubt.", – said S. Babayan adding that in
the near future it will be impossible to realize what is mentioned
in the protocols, as the Armenian side is waiting for a compromises
in Karabakh issue.
"As for us, we will not give that opportunity. I will be happy if we
be able to solve other problems with Turkey without touching Karabakh
issue", – mentioned S. Babayan.
