"The Armenian powers, having no serious pressure either from the
side of Russia or the West, want to settle the Karabakh issue by
themselves", said member of the Miatsum initiative Alexander Kananyan
at a press conference.
He informed about the exclusive details of the recent visit of Serzh
Sargsyan to Karabakh, noting that they got this information from
reliable sources.
Kananyan said that in fact during the visit the president met with the
Karabakh leadership and main force structures and informed them about
the settlement variant with a "tone, impatient of any contradictions".
According to Kananyan, the Armenian President told the leadership of
the self-declared Karabakh that they must withdraw the troops from 5
"liberated" regions and then there will be held a referendum within
two years and the Kelbajar region will be ceded to Azerbaijan.
The representative of the Miatsum initiative also announced that
by the help of the chairmen of the communities and policemen,
Sargsyan’s statement is presented to public for its preparation,
yet the preliminary panic among the Karabakh people may grow into a
general rage.
Alexander Kananyan noted that the Karabakh people will make any powers
of Armenia take into account the issue of its security.
