    Nagorno-Karabakh is a guarantor of security for Armenia


    2008-07-14 17:26:00


    ArmInfo. Nagorno-Karabakh is a guarantor of security for Armenia
    against possible aggression of Azerbaijan as the security zone
    consisting of 7 liberated regions with the NKR's territory are a kind
    of shield for Armenia, Head of public-scientific center Modus Vivendi,
    former ambassador of Armenia to Canada Ara Papyan said during a
    roundtable "Principles of the foreign policy of Armenia", Monday. "In
    this context, conversations about ceding a region to Azerbaijan are
    simply irrelevant as loss of even one region may lead to irreparable
    consequences. In this case, Armenia may turn from the guarantor of
    NKR's security into a conflicting party as the possibility of
    resumption of military actions will increase to a considerable extent",
    he noted.

    Papyan said, today's attempts of the OSCE Minsk Group in the Karabakh
    peace process look strange at least, as the mediators give the priority
    to Stalin's Constitution of the USSR, on the basis of which
    Nagorno-Karabakh and Nakhijevan joined the Azerbaijani SSR. "The only
    document on the basis of which the conflict settlement should be
    carried out, is the report adopted at the Paris Congress in 1920", he
    noted.

    According to the report, all the territorial disputes between the
    republics of the South Caucasus should be settled on the basis of a
    consensus between the leaderships of these republics, or on the basis
    of ethnographic belonging of population if there is no consensus.
    "Armenia should exert every type of effort to carry out the peace
    process in the necessary course, particularly, in the course of
    agreements reached due to US President Woodrow Wilson during the Paris
    Congress and Sevr Agreement", Papyan said in conclusion.
