“In the Karabakh issue we have to reject the policy of the cuckoo from
the well-known Armenian fairy tale. We can’t sacrifice one part of the
territory of Nagornyy Karabakh to preserve another,” the leader of the
Liberal Democratic Union and advisor to the Armenian president on
local government issues, Seyran Avakyan, has told the Union’s congress
which opened today.

He said Armenia must speak to the international community in the
language it understands.

“If great superpowers have interests in the region, then we have to
try to make Armenia more attractive than, say, Azerbaijan, and not to
take offence because the world community is not accepting our position
the way we want. They have to see that Armenia has much more important
values not under the ground, but on the surface,” the leader of the
Liberal Democratic Union said.
