ARMENIAN SIDE SHOULD HAVE BEEN READY FOR WORSE QUESTIONS THAN VOICED BY NAZARBAYEV IN ASTANA - GARNIK ISAGULYAN
17:40 / 05.06.2014
Nyut.am conducted interview with leader of National Security party
Garnik Isagulyan on Aliyev's letter read by Nursultan Nazarbayev in
Astana, and the silence of the Armenian delegation.
- Was the statement of Nazarbayev a surprise for the Armenian side,
or they knew beforehand about it?
- It is not significant whether they knew or not, the Armenian side
should have been ready as the issue was many times discussed after
September 3, 2013. Moreover, the Armenian side should have been ready
for worse questions than voiced by Nazarbayev in Astana.
- Do you share the opinion of some ruling party figures that the
silence was the best response as each response would have harmed the
interests of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh?
- Of course I do not, I am glad that some political figures and
political analysts forwarded few possible answers. Each of them would
have been proper and would not harm the interests of Armenia.
- Does it stem from interests of Armenia and NKR to become member
of the Eurasian Economic Union without Karabakh and officially state
about it?
- The NK issue must not be discussed in an open format at such like
meetings but in case it is done Armenia has one response, it must
state that it is the political and economic security guarantor of
the NKR and the conflict settlement has no other format but within
the framework of the Minsk Group.
