"Armenia will not agree returning two Nagorno-Karabakh regions [Aghdam
and Fizuli] as the Armenian side perfectly understands that security
system of the Republic of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR)
is secured by the territorial integrity of NKR, and it is simply
excluded that concessions can be made especially when Azerbaijan
does not have the will to recognize the status of Nagorno Karabakh,"
Heritage Party deputy Stepan Safaryan told Tert.am, commenting on a
recent statement by the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Asked why was this statement being made especially at this moment,
Safaryan said: "I think Azerbaijan wants to show that its demands
have decreased. I think it is rather a political trick, as they
understand well enough that it has a very serious risk of prompting
strong domestic reactions and instability [in Armenia], should Armenian
authorities agree to returning those two regions, and therefore they
[the Azerbaijani] want to affect the domestic political life in
Armenia. And if they succeed in doing so, I do not exclude that they
hope that it will be fixed that Armenia proves in fact that those
territories do not belong to it."
