The return of territories will change de facto situation

Davit Babayan, political scientist, thinks the idea of a provisional
status occurred during the conference of Dartmouth. However, the idea
of a provisional status looked different there. There this status is
granted to NKR to join the talks and does not imply withdrawal of
force or other strategic moves. ` The Minsk Group co-chairs decided to
modify this idea, and the result is something different. If NKR
withdrew the force from the liberated territories, the de facto
situation would change. It would change in favor of Azerbaijan. And
no international force could guarantee the security of Karabakh.

Karabakh is an established state, its primary and central goal is to
sustain its independence, security and development. However, only the
status cannot be a guarantee, on the contrary, these territories are
crucial to sustaining these principles,’ Davit Babayan says.
