/PanARMENIAN.Net/ “The statements saying that Armenia and Nagorno
Karabakh are following the policy of inhabiting of the liberated
territories do not correspond to reality”, Armen Aghaian, a
representative of a public initiative for the defense of the freed
territories said to Azg newspaper reporter. On the state level the
policy of inhabiting the former Armenian territories is being pursued
by Azerbaijani leadership and we have a lot to learn from them, the
author of the article continues. Deputy of the Karabakh parliament
Maxim Mirzoian reminds that Armenians have lost about 180 000 houses
in Azerbaijan. Just these people should settle the lands around
Nagorno Karabakh. In this view the deputy considers it to be
inadmissible to change the present status of the Karvachar (Kelbajar)
and Kashatakh (Lachin) regions. “In any case Lachin and Shushi cannot
be objects at issue”, states Myasnik Malkhasian, a trustee of
Yekrapah, the Union of Volunteers of the Karabakh war, says.
