Statements by RA President Serzh Sargsyan about returning territories
to Azerbaijan and also some other actions may serve as a basis for
Armenian Revolutionary Federation (Dashnaktsutyun, ARF-D) to demand
his resignation, ARF-D faction secretary Artyush Shahbazyan said at
a press conference today.
Shahbazyan is surprised by the fact the Azerbaijan never speaks about
concessions, while Armenia does the opposite.
"We are constantly speaking about concessions due to which [the
Azerbaijani] always think that the Armenians will concede. Why are
we always speaking about mutual concessions?" said he.
Shahbazyan cited the Constitution of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh
(NKR), saying that the Armenian side is now violating it. He is also
surprised at why Serzh Sargsyan has taken so many burdens and is
making statements on behalf of NKR.
"Is that man David of Sasun?" said Shahbazyan.
Republican Party of Armenia MP Sukias Avetisyan, in turn, said that
the priorities in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict are the nations'
right to self-determination and NKR's status. While other issues,
among them also the return of territories, stem from these issues.
"The issue of returning the territories will be possible to discuss
only after those two conditions are secured ... They must be mistaken,
those who think that the president has no right to speak on behalf of
Karabakh as today the negoiating party is Armenia," said Avetisyan,
adding that he considers it right that the Nagorno Karabakh must
become a negotiating party.
