/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Reports on the Armenian leadership’s intention to
cede Karabakh displease President Serzh Sarsgyan, who, as a matter
fact, is going to yield 5 NKR regions to Azerbaijan, an Armenian
expert said.
"Besides, the presidential plan envisages a possibility of exchanging
Karvachar (Kelbajar) for Shahumyan after conduction of a referendum
in Nagorno Karabakh," Armen Aghayan told a press conference today.
"According to the plan, Lachin corridor will remain under Armenia’s
control, while Baku will recognize NKR’s independence. Yerevan and
Baku agree on the fate of 5 regions, yet they differ on Karvachar
and two regions bordering on NKR," he said.
"The presidential initiative is not supported either inside or outside
of Armenia. Yet Azerbaijan and Turkey demand even more than Sargsyan
offers. NKR authorities are fully dependent on official Yerevan,
but lots of people in Karabakh disagree with Sargsyan’s plan."
The Nagorno Karabakh conflict can’t be settled through peaceful talks,
according to Aghayan.
"There was a war that remained unfinished and Azerbaijan is not going
to accept Armenia’s peaceful initiatives. Baku is willing to resume
hostilities, though doubts the victory," he said.
