Baku - APA. "Co-chairs of OSCE Minsk Group came to consensus to
hand over five regions to Azerbaijan", said Tuesday at a rally of
the opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC) leader, the first
president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan, APA reports.
"By consensus, the co-chairs of the Minsk Group involve the immediate
transfer of the five regions of Azerbaijan," said Mr. Ter-Petrosyan,
noting that "for input after the peacekeeping force, determining
the status of the Lachin corridor and the status of Karabakh, says
nothing," but "the question of the interim status of Karabakh only
determines that the previously unrecognized government Karabakh will
be recognized. Armenia, in his words, "in response to its substantial
concessions received only baseless promises".
Ter-Petrosian also said that the situation in Armenia significantly
complicates the fact that Azerbaijan recognizes updated Madrid
principles. At the same time, Ter-Petrosyan said that the consensus on
the issue of putting five territories does not mean that the co-chair
countries have agreed to issue a final resolution of the Karabakh
conflict. To Ter-Petrosian, all further development in the Karabakh
issue depends on the position of President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan.
"Armenia faces a dilemma - to sign an agreement to the detriment of
the Armenian people or to win time that infuriates the international
community with all the consequences" - the former president said,
noting that "the president is likely to choose the signature".
