ArmInfo. It was as far back as the 1970s when I first realized that
Nagorno-Karabakh had no future as part of Azerbaijan, President of
Armenia Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview to German sociologist
T.Alert.
The Public Television of Armenia quotes Sargsyan as saying that
Nagorno-Karabakh was annexed to Azerbaijan by an illegal decision of
the Soviet authorities against the will of its people.
When asked who was the real Armenian, Sargsyan said that the Armenians
living in Los Angeles, Nagorno-Karabakh, Yerevan, Gyumri or any
other place are real Armenians. Simply, it so happened that the
Nagorno-Karabakh Armenians are in the vanguard of our struggle.
He stressed that Karabakh is a historically Armenia land and
expressed confidence that the Karabakh problem can be settled
peacefully. "Otherwise I wouldn't run for president",- he said. "The
happiest day for me will be the day when Azerbaijan will recognize
Nagorno-Karabakh, and the latter will become either an independent
state or part of Armenia",- he added.
Speaking of European integration, the president pointed out hat any
Armenian thinks himself/herself European, and by their thinking
Armenians are Europeans. "I don't think we radically differ from
German, French people and other Europeans. We want to live in
compliance with European standards",- he said.
