Candidate for Armenian President: "The "released" lands must not be
given up"
28 January 2008 [18:57] – Today.Az
The lands near Agdam, Jabrail and Fizuli are still unsettled, while
Azerbaijan continues the process of the settlement of the occupied
lands.
The due statement was made by candidate for Armenian President Arman
Melikyan.
He noted that the talks on the settlement of the Garabagh conflict
must continue, but the return of the lands must not be considered as
a compromise and all candidates must adhere to the said position.
Yet, he noted, however, that the solution of the Garabagh conflict is
not fixed in a clear form in the election programs, which will
further give good chance for interpretation and later for actions.
"We have another unsettled problem-the unsettled lands and the delay
in the resolution of this issue can lead to undesirable results",
Arman Melikyan said.
He noted that this was the result of weakness of the leadership of
the so-called "Nagorno-Garabagh Republic" and Armenia, which were not
able to declare "the released" lands as the "property" of its people
which are not subject to transfer. According to him, the lands near
Agdam, Jabrail and Fizuli, are still unsettled, while Azerbaijan
continues the settlement of the occupied lands.
The definition of the modern borders of Garabagh must be held
considering the released lands, the candidate for Armenian President
said.
