STEPANAKERT, JULY 6, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. "Karabakh's
position has not changed and will not change. Irrespective of
revelations to be made by this or that person, our position remains
the same, as it is exact," NKR President Arkady Ghukasian declared
after the solemn sitting dedicated to the 13th anniversary of Martakert
liberation held on June 28 in NKR, the "168 hours" newspaper writes.
In response to the question, "after disclosing the details of the
Nagorno Karabakh settlement negotiations by OSCE Minsk Group American
Co-chair Matthew Bryza how much probable is NKR's participation in the
negotiations as a negotiations part", NKR President said: "I think,
this is not realistic in these days and in the nearest period, either,
as we all see Azerbaijan's position and destructive approaches. I do
not consider this will be real today and Azerbaijan will be ready to
negotiate with Karabakh. A wrong impression is formed that this is
necessary for Karabakh. This is necessary for the process. I do not
think that to take part in the negotiations is an end in itself for us.
Of course, it would be good but not for us but for the process."
Touching upon the issue regarding the role of Azerbaijan's oil factor
in the conflict settlement, A.Ghukasian said: "I do not think that
victories are decided by a country's being poor or rich. If you
remember, in 1991-1992 we had incomparably poorer resourses than
Azerbaijan and the war result is exact and unequivocal. I do not
suppose that Azerbaijan's hopes to strengthen its army with the
resources of oil are realistic, I do not think this is a solution to
the issue or some decisive factor. I consider the Azerbaijani people
does not want a war and we do not want, either. And, in general, there
is no people that wants to solve any issue through a war." A.Ghukasian
considered ridiculous the statements of Azerbaijani leadership, as,
according to him, "such statements are made by people who not only did
not defend their homeland in 1992-1994, but also kept their children
away from the war."
"I think we have no occasion for being afraid, our army is able
to defend our homeland, our borders. And such statements should
be condemned by the international community, which, unfortunately,
is not done and this is unintelligible for us. But I hope this will
take place," NKR President declared.
