IT DIDN'T OCCUR TO US THAT ARMENIA'S PRESIDENT WOULD ALSO ABANDON KARABAKH: STEPAN SAFARYAN
Tert.am
10:38 ~U 25.03.10
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's proposal to return the security
zone around the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh (NKR) to Azerbaijan
strongly goes against Heritage Party's approach to the settlement of
the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, head of Heritage Party's parliamentary
faction Stepan Safaryan told Tert.am.
"Armenia's proposal flatly opposes Heritage's approach to the
settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, and we condemn it,"
said Safaryan, citing Sargsyan's comments in a recent interview with
Syrian local daily Al Watan.
According to Safaryan, such a solution benefits neither the Republic of
Armenia nor the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and it will not establish
peace in the region.
"Moreover, mutual concessions should not be spoken about at a time
when the other side is keeping its finger on the trigger.
Azerbaijan should not be allowed to think that Armenia is afraid of
its bellicose statements and based on that is raising the issue of
a peace agreement that's not worthy of merit," Safaryan mentioned.
In his words, they had said in the past too that certain territories
bordering NKR's former autonomous province would be left unprotected.
"But it didn't occur to us that Armenia's president would also abandon
Armenia and Karabakh in this issue," concluded Safaryan.
