EX COMMANDER OF KARABAKH DEFENCE ARMY KNOWS HOW TO RESOLVE KARABAKH CONFLICT

Yerevan, December 15. ArmInfo. There is no universal solution to the
Karabakh conflict and similar conflicts, says the leader of the
Dashink party, ex commander of the Karabakh Defence Army Samvel
Babayan.

The Karabakh conflict can be resolved if the conflicting parties are
democratized. There are four key principles: transitional sovereignty
under patronage of some international structure (for example EU),
voluntary return of Armenian refugees and internal displaced persons
of Azerbaijan, creation of prerequisites for Karabakh’s economic
development and determination of Karabakh’s status through new
referendum.

The resolution of the Karabakh conflict will stimulate regional
integration, while the preservation of the status quo does not serve
the interests of the Armenian side. If the above principles are
observed Karabakh will gain independence and it will be for the
Armenian nation to decide if it will remain independent or will join
Armenia, says Babayan.
