Arman Melikian, ex Foreign Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic,
is confident that Serzh Sargsyan will bring no news from Munich.
"Each side will represent the "significant" progress in their own way.
No general approach will be presented to the public. They will say
whatever they want," Arman Melikian told A1+.
The so-called Madrid Principals do not reflect Armenia's interests and
naturally the Armenian side will make concessions ignoring a series
of issues important for the Armenian people," says former NKR FM.
Arman Melikian doesn't share the opinion that determination of
Karabakh's status is the first and foremost concern at the threshold
of the Karabakh conflict settlement.
"Karabakh's status was determined in 1991 and we don't need to discuss
the issue with Azerbaijan or the Minsk Group mediators. Armenia should
discuss the matter with no one else but the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
You needn't get delighted with the statements of international
structures or mass media saying that Azerbaijan has yielded to
Armenia's urges and has decided to recognize NKR's status. They
likely meant that Karabakhi people should gain independence within
the territorial wholeness of Azerbaijan. You needn't get delighted
and delude the Armenian people."
Arman Melikian thinks that the negotiations should eliminate the
reasons for the Karbakh conflict, lift Armenia's blockade, restore
the rights of Azerbaijani refugees and make Azerbaijan recognize
NKR's status.
"I am glad that RA authorities finally began to speak about Armenian
refugees in talks though reducing their number from half a million to
400 thousand. At the same time the authorities noted that the issue
will be discussed after Karabakh's status is defined. Even Armenia's
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian recently raised the issue in the
United Nations Organization speaking about ethnic discrimination
against Armenians in the NKR. He didn't refer to Armenians in
Azerbaijan. Undoubtedly, this approach narrows the possibilities of
negotiations. Our officials have no right to stumble in important
matters," added Arman Melikian.
