The clarification of the press speaker of the Armenian president
Samvel Farmanyan to the ARMENPRESS agency
The Azerbaijani president, a day before the meeting in Munich, made
his regular aggressive statement, in fact threatening by war. What
will Armenia do if the tension connected with the NKR issue increases?
We have had opportunities to note that such statements are made for
home audience, at the same time they do not create favorable atmosphere
for the settlement of the issue. The statements of the Azerbaijani
president once again prove the Azerbaijani non-constructive behavior.
The increase of tension about the NKR issue of course is the most
disgusting solution. It will be such one for Armenia, NKR and the
whole region. But the Republic of Armenia cannot be indifferent
in connection with the destiny of the Karabakh people. The Armenian
president and many high-ranking officials have repeatedly stated we are
responsible for the Karabakh security. There are traditional versions
for such cases, for example, Armenia may recognize the independence of
Nagorno-Karabakh with all its consequences. There are other versions,
and I am sure Armenia will use one of them. We have to note that
Armenia has not yet recognized the Karabakh independence so far just
in order not to hinder the peace negotiations. And if they are ruined,
Armenia will not have any other obstacle to recognize Karabakh.
But the present situation is that the negotiation is continuing.
Armenia has always stated it does not see any alternative to the
peace settlement of the issue.
After the meeting in Munich, the Azerbaijani press spread information
that during the meeting the question that Armenians are to free
the Kelbadjar region by the end of this year was discussed which
will enable Turkey to ratify the Armenian and Turkish protocols
and Azerbaijan to soften its positions in the context of the
Nagorno-Karabakh issue. Is it true?
We are already used to this situation, when after any regular meeting
between the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents, "too aware" sources
dwell on discussions and arrangements which in reality do not exist.
This is pure misinformation and does not have anything in common with
the reality. Such a question is not discussed, thus there cannot be
such an arrangement. We have repeatedly stated that the axis of the
Karabakh negotiations is the status of Nagorno-Karabakh. All the rest
is derivative.
