Let Saakashvili mind his own country territorial problems and
not meddle in others' conflicts, RA National Assembly MP and the
chairman of Javakhk Compatriotic Union Shirak Torosyan told NEWS.am
correspondent, commenting on Georgian President's statement that
Karabakhi conflict should be settled with respect for Azerbaijani
state sovereignty and Armenia-Turkey relations' to be coordinated
with Azerbaijan.
"It'd be better for Saakashvili to obtain the Georgian national
minority rights respect to evade ethnic conflicts", said Torosyan,
underlining that the Karabakhi conflict was settled long ago -- in
1991, when NKR gained independence trough national referendum. "I
should emphasize that Karabakh shed blood for its independence
and no one has the right to usurp upon it. Raising a question of
NKR territorial integrity, the Georgian President shouldn't try to
create favorable ground for his own territorial conflicts settlement,"
the MP stated.
"As for the statement on Armenia-Turkey normalization process should
consider Baku's interests, I can state that Tbilisi is interested in
establishment of relations between the two countries and consequently,
Armenia-Turkey border opening, as in that case Georgia will lose
transit control over Armenia," Torosyan said.
