VIEWS OF CURRENT AUTHORITIES, ARMENIAN PEOPLE ON KARABAKH PROBLEM
DIFFERENT
YEREVAN, July 27. /ARKA/. Views of current authorities and Armenian
people on Karabakh problem are different, Mikael Apresyan, Artsakh
(Karabakh) regiment commander, told journalist on Thursday.
In his opinion, Armenian authorities' reaction to OSCE Minsk Group's
statement showed something related to the talks that had been
conducted behind closed doors for years. "It has become clear that
the negotiations have nothing in common not only with Armenian
people's interests, but also with the whole region's interests", he
said.
Apresyan finds cession of liberated territories unacceptable,
especially taking into account the fact that they are Armenian
historic areas. "Not a single inch must be ceded", he said adding
that there are no acceptable clauses in draft agreement.
OSCE Minsk Group American Co-Chair Matthew Bryza unveiled key
principles of Karabakh conflict settlement last week.
Under this draft agreement, Armenian troops have to withdraw from
Karabakh-controlled "Azerbaijani territories" and peacekeeping forces
will be deployed there instead. M.V.-0---
