"It’s not the first time that Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan
says that he is accused of the return of "NKR" to Azerbaijan. In the
reality he is being accused of the availability of an exact plan to
transfer 5 regions to Azerbaijan", said independent analyst Armen
Agayan during a press conference in Yerevan.

"International experts have been speaking about it. Along with the
transfer of 5 regions, the plan of the Armenian president includes
possible change of Karvachar (Kelbajar) for Shaomyan after a referendum
in "NKR". By the plan the Lachin corridor will remain Armenia’s and
Nagorno Karabakh independence will be recognized by Baku", announced
the expert.

He said interests of Yerevan and Baku are crossing in the issue of 5
regions, but the sides still cannot agree about Kelbajar and 2 regions,
adjacent to Karabakh.

"Serzh Sargsyan’s initiative is not supported either within Armenia or
out of its bounds. The Armenian president is seriously inclined towards
such a resolution of the Karabakh conflict but Azerbaijan and Turkey
do not demand more than Serzh Sargsyan can offer", said Armen Agayan.

He noted that today the "NKR" powers fully depend on official Yerevan,
but there are many people in Karabakh that do not agree with Sargsyan’s
plan on the Karabakh conflict.

"Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot be settled by way of talks. This
is impossible. There was a war which remained incomplete and though
Armenia offers a peace agreement to Azerbaijan this will not satisfy
the Azerbaijani side. Baku is ready to resume military actions
but it now has doubts whether it will be able to win or no", noted
Armen Agayan.
