"Arantsk" analytical center organized discussions on the Karabakh
issue at the "Narekatsi" educational foundation today. Main speakers
at the discussion were General Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, historian Samvel
Karapetyan and political scientist Stepan Grigoryan.

The reason for the discussion was the visit of the OSCE Minsk Group
Co-Chairs to the region and their opinion that the resolution of the
issue is impossible without the consent of NKR and its people.

Political scientist Stepan Grigoryan said such working style of the
Minsk Group Co-Chairs is unacceptable, noting that two visits to the
region within a month defames their activity. "I would advice them
not to visit the region as frequently and make optimistic statements,"
he said.

According to Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, "the slightest change of the
border will bring to negative results. "It’s not permissible to make
any concessions, since we have already lost part of Martuni, Artsvashen
and other lands, and our concessions already belong to our enemy."

According to historian Samvel Karaetyan, our mistake is that we
do not know our motherland well. "These are things that weaken our
positions, and we should delete the expression "mutual concessions"
from our brain," he said.
