“For us number 1 issue is the recognition of the independence of Artsakh Republic by the international community”, says the president of “National Security” party, Garnik Isagulyan, considering the remaining issues secondary.
To the overview of the journalists, as why the issue of the massacres carried out by Azerbaijan has remained left out from the context of Artsakh issue, the political actor responded, that both conducting a war and putting the issues of Sumgayit, Baku would shift the issue and it is a question, whether it would help the issue or hinder.
“From 1988 to 91 the situation was different, when our state was in the Soviet Union, it was different, when the states started to get independence”, he notes, adding that for newly-formed authorities it was difficult to see and realize the events, “Regardless of everything, we have pursued the right path.”
