"Azerbaijan must be the first to recognize our independence. Baku is
not ready to such step now, but I am sure, it will do that later.
Nagorny Karabakh cannot be part of Azerbaijan. I am sure that
Azerbaijan is well aware of that as well," Arkady Ghukasyan, the second
president of NKR said in an interview with the NKR Public Television,
ArmInfo's correspondent to Stepanakert reported.
"...Azerbaijan is not engaged in resolution of the conflict. It tries
its best to harm Armenia. Such is the policy of Ilhav Aliyev, while
we do not aim to destroy Azerbaijan," he said. Ghukasyan believes
historical reconciliation the only resolution of the conflict. He
is sure that NKR authorities cannot go on any steps infringing the
interests of the people.
"...We should demonstrate to the world that we deserve independence.
We have all the legal bases for that. Unfortunately, everyone now seeks
political solutions neglecting the legal aspect, while a political
solution depends on the political environment," he said.
"We will yield nothing until we understand what Azerbaijan is ready
for:Alternative to negotiations is war," he said. He said that final
goal of NKR is a peaceful life of the people. The ex-president is
sure that together with Armenia and Diaspora, Artsakh will overcome
everything.
As for resumption of military actions, the second president of NKR
said: "I am not sure that Azerbaijan is ready to unleash war. The
Azerbaijani leadership is well aware that in case of war, Azerbaijan
face force- majeur situation the first. The world community is against
war and it is evident. The country that will unleash war will be
punished. At some moment Azerbaijan will understand that its hopes
are senseless as NKR can never be part of Azerbaijan," he said.
NKR has to become a democratic country since it is very difficult
for an unrecognized state to meet challenges, he said.
"Since our task is to have a de-jure status and to be recognized by
the world community, we must learn talking to the world community on
its own language. This made us rapidly pass the stages that take other
countries decades and centuries. We understood then that if we fail
to give freedom to our people, introduce international standards in
our country, our path to independence will be twice as hard. What we
have managed to create in Karabakh is a unique phenomenon I think,"
Arkady Ghukasyan said.
