Leaders of Second Armenian Republic should perform as negotiators
‘If we enter into a race of buying weapons, we will hardly be able to win Azerbaijani oil, therefore, we should develop our own military industry and economy’, “Yelq” bloc MP Gevorg Gorgisyan expresses his opinion.
He is convinced: “We should be in a scientific race, we can and should win that race. In that case we can solve Artsakh issue in favor of Armenia. Otherwise we will have to go for a compromise which is not acceptable to our society.”
According to the MP’s characterization, speaking of the return of some territories, we should put the question of Artsakh people’s security in the first place: “We have Nakhichevan completely emptied of Armenians. In this case we should make it clear who we work with. In case of any compromise we put the lives of Artsakh people under threat. Then we weaken the existing grounds. We have liberated Artsakh as a historical Armenian land with Armenian people and with the aim of providing the security of the latter, is it not so? Artsakh is not solely Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Region.”
The leader of “Heritage” party Raffi Hovhannisian notes – it is necessary that the leaders of the Second Armenian Republic perform as a negotiator party: “Armenian diplomacy will win if even late but it recognizes Artsakh by Constitution and borders.”
The politician emphasizes that the policy of attacking operations of Azerbaijan is active: “Demanding targeted announcements from the Co-Chairs is not enough. From military and diplomatic perspectives we should be united so much as not to have a need of asking anything from the Co-Chairs. Asking a favor speaks of a diplomatic gap.”
Let us mention that pursuant to expert evaluations, an initiative aimed at the recommencement of negotiations over Artsakh conflict resolution is expected by OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs in the Autumn.
