"YES, THEY MAY PROVIDE GAS AND SAY: WELL, INSTEAD, GIVE KARABAKH TO US."
June 11 2013
The members of Republican Party have different views of "benevolence"
of Azerbaijan. Recently, the head of the Azerbaijani Presidential
Administration Novruz Mamedov announced that his country is ready
to provide gas at a lower price under certain conditions without
clarifying the terms and conditions. Aravot.am tried to clarify from
RP members whether they take serious such benevolence of our neighbor.
In a conversation with us, Ashot Aghababyan (Burnash) expressed an
opinion that, in his opinion, sooner or later, the hostility will
disappear, because we are neighboring countries and that should
be just with an economic cooperation. "If he had said something
like that, of course, I have neither heard nor read, I see it as a
step forward to establish a relationship, because they should not be
permanent enemies. There was a war for the sake of the country, state
and homeland. After the end of the war, neighboring countries always
try to find common grounds for cooperation. It is a healthy offer,
and this step, in my opinion, will be considered as a first step
for establishment of respective relationship of the 21st century",
- said our interlocutor. To our observation that we have unregulated
problem of Nagorno-Karabakh and negotiation process, which constantly
is getting into a deadlock due to efforts of Azerbayjan, Aghababyan
replied,- "In any case, I talk about the offer, and if it will affect
our future relationship, we do not need it." Another RP member Hamlet
Harutyunyan, as opposed to another member of his party, was familiar
with Mamedov's announcement and expressed uncertainty on terms and
conditions that are not published. "I consider this as an unserious
statement and an appropriate statement of Turkish foreign policy. And
the Turkish foreign policy, for centuries, is aiming to mislead the
global society. Look how generous the Azeris are, that they want
to provide cheap gas Armenians. Yes, they may provide gas, and say,
instead, give Karabakh to us. They do not say the continuation. They
say that they are willing to help Armenia, but then continue, - under
certain conditions. But the fact that those certain conditions are
unacceptable conditions, I am definitely sure." Nelly GRIGORYAN
