Armenia does its best to defend Nagornyy Karabakh. But it is one thing
when representatives of Nagornyy Karabakh raise some issues and it is
quite another thing when Armenia represents them, the president of the
Nagornyy Karabakh Republic, Arkadiy Gukasyan, has told journalists in
Yerevan.
"In this context, I consider that our opportunities will expand if
Karabakh takes part in negotiations and defends its positions itself,"
the president stressed. The president also pointed out that the
Armenian army was the main guarantor of the security of the Nagornyy
Karabakh people and state.
"If we have any fully formed structure, it is the army. I am confident
that we will have future with a strong army. The truth is that the
army has been resolving problems in our region until now. God willing,
this will never happen again, and problems are resolved politically.
But nevertheless, we need a strong army," the president said.
