YEREVAN, JUNE 29, ARMENPRESS: 'Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region'
does not exist any more; the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic exists. The
Armenian authorities have already made clear the three points, over
which Armenia and Artsakh do not intend to make any compromises. Those
points are the security guarantees, the status of Artsakh and common
land border between Armenia and Artsakh. Secretary and Spokesperson
of RA NA Armenian Republican Party Edward Sharmazanov said at today's
meeting with journalists that the people of Artsakh are to make the
final decision on making compromises.
'For us the milestone of the regulation is the issue of the status
of NK. We should achieve the point, when NK gets even a higher
status. In the final stage we will achieve the recognition of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. Our goal is the recognition of the NKR,'
Mr. Sharmazanov said.
According to him, it is rumored that that the process of regulation
has entered the final stage, however it is not true. 'The issue has
entered a new stage, which has some positive features. The issue will
enter the final stage, when the NK becomes a negotiating side. No
one can define the fortune of the NK nation without the consent of
Artsakh's people. The sides of the conflict are Azerbaijan and Artsakh,
but not Armenia and Azerbaijan,' Edward Sharmazanov stated.
As to the Erdogan-Obama meeting, Edward Sharmazanov underscored
that Turkey does not have the right to interfere in the process of
regulation of the NK issue. He says Turkey should realize that Armenia
will not conduct any discussions on the theme of the Genocide.
'We have always been stating and will go on stating that Armenia
endeavors to achieve the recognition of the Genocide. One should
not pay any attention to the propaganda of Azerbaijan and Turkey,'
he mentioned. Edward Sharmazanov noted that Turkey has to prove to
the world that it is not the heir of the feudalistic Ottoman Empire,
but a part of the democratic civilization.
