"They might reach some sort of agreement in the Karabakh issue, but
it doesn't seem to me that they'll sign any document; it's possible
that they'll sign something privately," said recently released
from prison former MP and commander of the Sasun brigade during the
Nagorno-Karabakh War Sasun Mikaelyan, speaking to journalists today
and referring to the upcoming meeting in Kazan with the presidents
of Armenia, Russia and Azerbaijan.
Mikaelyan said that during the war he participated in all the large
battles and as someone who fought in the war, he is against handing
over "even a single patch of land" to Azerbaijan; however, he confessed
that he realized that no status has been granted to Karabakh and he
also doesn't see any status being granted to the de facto republic.
According to the war veteran, Armenia's authorities are quite weak,
in order to settle an issue on that level. "We're now standing before
a very serious problem. I find that it's better for us now to settle
our domestic political situation, so that we may avoid war," he said,
while not ruling out the likelihood of war.
