YEREVAN, MAY 12, NOYAN TAPAN. In the opinion of Stepan Safarian, the
Secretary of the Zharangutiun (Heritage) party parliamentary faction,
the fulfillment of the "notorious" Madrid principles will result
in loss of Karabakh. As he stated at the May 12 press conference,
both the Armenian-Turkish relations and the Nagorno Karabakh problem
today fit within the superpowers' interests and have minimum relations
with Armenian people's strivings. Predicting that much pressures will
be exerted on the Armenian side at the July meeting of RA and Azeri
Presidents Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev, S. Safarian said: "It is
a pity that the issue of recognition of Nagorno Karabakh Republic is
not on the RA NA agenda so far. It could have changed the situation
in favor of us."
Zharangutiun Board Chairwoman Anahit Bakhshian, in her turn, touched
upon the issue of resettling the liberated territories mentioning
that if Artsakh leaders, Arkady Ghukasian, Samvel Babayan, Robert
Kocharian left Artsakh and came to Armenia, an ordinary citizen will
not wish to live in Artsakh, either.
