The head of the Union of Political scientists, Hmayak Hovhannisyan,
dwelling on the Karabakhi issue stated that the Karabakhi people have
already solved this issue.
Hmayak Hovhannisyan stated that we must not make any concession
to Azerbaijan, because all the possible concessions have already
been done. In particular, Armenia is left out of energetic plans of
the region.
According to the politician, when Robert Kocharyan was the president
of Karabakh, it was in a very expedient situation, even in 1995,
the Russian state Duma held hearings on the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh
and Kocharyan as the NKR president was invited to those hearings.
But now, the situation is tragic, because Karabakh stopped
participating in the negotiations. The politician recalled what Mathew
Bryza had stated lately, that Armenia took the responsibility to lead
the negotiation, leaving out Karabakh from it.
Just like in case of the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, as in case
of the collapse of the USSR, all the nations are in favor except the
Armenian one. Hmayak Hovhanisyan brought the example of Abkhazia
and Southern Ossetia, which showed that they were able to become
independent on international level. He thinks that we need one of the
geopolitical centers, U.S., Europe or Russia recognize the Karabakhi
independence.
In this situation, Karabakh has to show that it is a republic apart
from Armenia, stated Hmayak Hovhannisyan.
