/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Former NKR Minister of Defense labeled the current
talks on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict as "incorrect."

"Unlike Azerbaijan, we speak of concessions on our part," Samvel
Babayan told a news conference in Yerevan today.

"The talks should include military men, who will say that return of
territories in inadmissible, and geologists, who are aware of NKR
natural resources. Only then politicians can decide which territories
can be returned to Azerbaijan," he said.

"Besides, Karabakh but not Yerevan should hold talks. We have half
million of refugees who have the right to return to their homes. And
finally, Stepanakert will have decisive word in Karabakh conflict
resolution, irrelative of the agreement Armenia and Azerbaijan
achieve."

The recent statement by Ilham Aliyev in Italy proved that Baku wants
all or nothing, according to him.

In an interview with RAI International Italian language channel,
Ilham Aliyev stated that the declaration "doesn’t contain a provision
reading that Azerbaijan obliges to refrain from a military resolution
of the conflict and therefore, any kind of measures, including use
of force and admissible."

"Azerbaijan is not ready for compromise," Babayan said.
