Yerevan, January 21: The leader of the Orinats Yerkir Party (OYP),
Artur Baghdasarian, who is running for Armenian president, is for
Nagornyy Karabakh’s reunification with Armenia or its international
recognition as an independent state.
Speaking at the presentation of his pre-election programme in Yerevan
today, Artur Baghdasarian said that, as a result of the settlement of
the Karabakh conflict, the presence of a land border between Armenia
and Nagornyy Karabakh, as well as the security of Nagornyy Karabakh’s
population should be guaranteed.
The OYP leader spoke in favour of the Nagornyy Karabakh republic’s
active involvement in the negotiation process. He expressed concern
that the present stage of talks is not open for wide layers of
Armenian society.
