"The NK conflict can't be an inter-communitarian issue," former NKR
Minister of Foreign Affairs Arman Melikyan says.
In this sense, he doesn't treat the December 8-10 meeting of "Armenian
and Azerbaijani communities" of the NK in Paris seriously. "I don't
imagine what kind of a meeting that will be," Mr. Melikyan said.
He is aware of the RA Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Shavarsh
Kocharyan's commentary on this meeting and deems it necessary to
remind that "the issue of refugees has many delicacies and it isn't
worth making statements that can put an end to all that."
According to Melikyan, there is one, very serious issue. "Artsakh
declared its independence and its objective is to preserve it and
achieve international recognition. Azerbaijan unleashed a war and
subjected the Armenian population of Azerbaijan to ethnic cleansing.
The issue related to Armenian refugees is not a matter of the
communities. It is an issue related to the restoration of violated
rights and losses, and it is an issue that has to be solved by Yerevan
and Stepanakert."
According to the former NKR FM, any inter-communitarian meeting will
lead the NK conflict to a labyrinth.
Melikyan says even if the scheduled meeting takes place in Paris, "it
will be a gathering of people who are unaware of the issue". "They
will only represent themselves because there are no Armenian and
Azerbaijani communities in Artsakh. The fact remains that there is a
Republic of Artsakh, and everyone has to come to grips with that."
