“The situation around Karabakh arose because of stupid political
leadership”, Jirayr Sefilyan, Coordinator of social initiative for
“Protection of Liberated Territories” announced in National Press Club.
He considers there is no issue of liberated territories for the super
states. “Araks valley is the problem. Turkey doesn’t care whether
Aghdam is in the hands of Armenians or Azerbaijanians’. The task of
the super states is to take Araks valley, South Araks, South Syuniq
and Nakhijevan into their hands. The one controlling that territory
will control Southern Caucasus”.
Sefilyan thinks the solutions to Karabakhi conflict unfavorable to
Armenians are imposed on our Authorities in the form of pressures
because they are not legitimately elected. Sefilyan considers the
suggestion of Vladimir Putin on returning “the occupied territories”
and to hold referendums in Karabakh and Azerbaijan as pressure upon
Kocharyan.
Mr. Sefilyan thinks only leaving of the present regime as soon as
possible will save Karabakh. Jirayr Sefilyan excludes prospects of
returning the liberated territories. “If the Armenian people decide
that those territories must not be returned, no meter will be given
back”, Sefilyan announced.
By the way, Jirayr Sefilyan liked the statement of Vardan Oskanyan
saying “Karabakh has no price” and his speech. He called other
statements and actions of Authorities as nonsense.
