"Prime Minister" of the self-declared "Nagorno Karabakh Republic"
Ara Arutyunan viewed the announcement of Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan regarding possible investment by Azerbaijan into the economy
of the unrecognized republic, as a joke.
"Such investments are ruled out as the Karabakh problem has not been
settled yet. The Azerbaijan-Karabakh war reminded us that we must
be a self-sufficing country, both in the economic and social senses,
as well as in the sense of safety.
Today, we must primarily have a strong army, which could ensure
security of our country in any period, conditions and developments",
said Ara Aruyunyan, speaking at a press conference on results of a
yearly work of the new Karabakhi government.
It should be noted that according to BBC radio, Sargsyan told foreign
journalists that he "offered to Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev
to invest into Nagorno Karabakh in order to demonstrate Azerbaijan’s
interest in the welfare of Karabakh and safe living there. Perhaps,
after that Armenians in Karabakh would speak for living within
Azerbaijan".
