    Nagorno Karabakh politics

    Reactions to President Sargsyan's statements in Syria leading to
    the possibility of territorial concessions in Karabakh have elicited
    reactions from the NKR as well. In a conversation with Hetq, Davit
    Ishkhanyan, representative of the ARF's Artsakh Central Committee,
    asked if the president had consulted with either the NKR government or
    people before making such a statement."Does such a position reflect
    that of the Karabakh public? It's no secret that for many years
    attempts have been made to establish such a position which is presented
    in the Madrid Principles. Is such a position now being confirmed by
    the Karabakh society and the government?" asked Mr. Ishkhanyan.

    The ARF official answered his own questions with a resounding "No"
    and stated that it was clear to the people of Karabakh that any return
    of territories would inevitably lead to the depopulation of Armenians
    from the region and the loss of Karabakh

    He stressed that the Karabakh issue was one that had pan-Armenian
    significance and that a national approach should be adopted.

    Mr. Ishkhanyan raised a number of legal aspects regarding the issue
    and asked if President Sargsyan's remarks weren't in violation of
    the NKR Constitution or outright interference. He said that on this
    point the issue of a bilateral written agreement between the RoA
    and the NKR, bandied about for years, comes into the picture. Such
    a document would ensure certain guarantees as to the security of the
    NKR and other matters linked to the settlement process.

    Mr. Ishkhanyan also touched on the issue of repopulating the "security
    corridor" with Armenians and noted that even though Armenia is not
    conducting such a policy that doesn't mean that the NKR isn't doing so.

    "If this is the policy of the RoA, then permit me to state that the
    view of the NKR is different. It's another matter entirely as to how
    that policy is being implemented and at what speed," Mr. Ishkhanyan
    said.

    The ARF official concluded by pointing out that such an approach by
    the Armenian government could possibly lead to a pan-national outburst
    similar to what happened during the Turkish-Armenian normalization
    process.
