/PanARMENIAN.Net/ For the most part, the referendum on the status of
Karabakh will bot settle the opposition between the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic and Azerbaijan, NKR President’s Advisor on Foreign Affairs
Arman Melikyan stated in an interview with Respublika Armenia
newspaper. In his words, it’s whether Azerbaijan, which cites its
Constitution and says that it doesn’t allow adoption of such decisions
by a part of its population, will agree on in some 5 or 10 years. The
idea of a postponed referendum implies a mechanism, which provide the
possibility not to find the final resolution of the conflict but to
unblock communications. At the expense of these communications serious
regional and geopolitical issues may be solved," Melikyan said. However
he did not rule out that the postponed referendum is beneficial for
some third states, which do not wish these communication to function
within next 5-10 years.
