Karabakh war veteran Zhirayr Seyfilyan has blamed Armenian President
Serzh Sargsyan for plans to yield Karabakh to Azerbaijan.
The coordinator of the For Protection of Liberated Territories civil
initiative, Zhirayr Seyfilyan, believes Sargsyan tries to stay in
power by handing Karabakh over to Azerbaijan, the paper reported.
He believes that "secret" Armenian-Turkish talks were held in Europe
before Turkish President Abdullah Gul arrived in Yerevan, adding
that the Armenian government agreed to withdraw its troops from the
Azerbaijani territories it currently controls, according to the piece.
Seyfilyan believes that otherwise, Gul would not agree to visit
Armenia. As for Sargsyan's statement that Azerbaijan may invest in
Nagornyy Karabakh, Seyfilyan describes it laughable. He said that
"there can be no word about concessions" in Karabakh conflict,
adding that the Armenian people should not forget about Turkey's
pan-Turkish plans.
He believes that although Sargsyan tries to stay in power at the
cost of Karabakh, the international community will soon understand
that holding talks with the Armenian government is senseless since
it does not represent the Armenian people. Seyfilyan believes that
compromises discussed at the cost of liberating territories will
inevitably damage security of Karabakh and Armenia, the paper said.
