Yerevan/Mediamax/. Political scientist Levon Shirinyan offers to
actualize the issue of the status of Nakhichevan.
Addressing a press conference in Yerevan today, the expert noted that
Armenia should make a legal decision concerning the former Azerbaijani
population of Karabakh, as Azerbaijan has once done in respect to
Armenians living in Nakhichevan, Mediamax reports.
Stressing that in accord with the Moscow and Kars treaties Nakhichevan
should have been handed over to Azerbaijan on conditions of a
protectorate and not permanent management, Levon Shirinyan said that
in 1926 Baku adopted a decision banning the indigenous residents of
this land to return to their motherland.
"In this case Armenia may adopt a similar decision in respect to Azeris
who have previously lived in Karabakh," the political scientist said.
At the same time, he put forward a hypothesis that the model of the
European Union should be projected in the South Caucasus and current
geopolitical realities fixed de facto, which, Levon Shirinyan believes,
will help resolve existing conflicts in the region.
