/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Militarization and the militaristic rhetoric of
Azerbaijan have no psychological influence on us, said Bako Sahakian,
the President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
-The use of force will cause innumerable victims on both sides but
will not resolve the Karabakh issue. First of all, the balance of
forces in the region is effective. Second, the armed force of our
country is able to rebuff Azerbaijan’s aggression. In this case we
will enlarge the area of security, since it will be the only way of
guaranteeing peace for our people,- he said.
Asked whether the NKR authorities suppose that return of Azeri
refugees to Karabakh is possible, Mr Sahakian said, -The government of
our republic does not rule out return of the Azerbaijani refugees to
Karabakh. However, we are confident that it is impossible before
political solution of the issue. Thoughtless actions may lead this
contingent of refugees to other tragic consequences. It is also
necessary to synchronize the issue of the Azerbaijani refugees with
the issue of the Armenian refugees. Today, however, it is viewed
unilaterally. Naturally, it does not satisfy us,- KarabakhOpen
