The Initiative Group of the Republic of Artsakh collects signatures
in favor of the program to make the released areas a territory of
vital national interests and in favor of the establishment of a fund
to inhabit them.
The collection of signatures has caused some concern in
Karabakh. Imagine a person, who for many years has lived in an
information vacuum, and now young people turn to them calling to sign
up to the requirement of the liberated territories? The response is
unambiguous: "are you crazy? No one will ever allow this. Even the
Turks say that lands are conquered with blood". However, nevertheless,
they sign the appeal, because it is not about the surrender or the
protection of territories but their economic development.
The only thing, which they dispute, is that the development of
the liberated territories is seen in isolation from the rest of
Karabakh. "Did you go crazy? We have one land and we should develop
it all".
Anxiety in Karabakh is evident only in the eyes of people. The
country is being built, is developing, this year there has been un
unprecedented number of tourists in Karabakh, with the majority from
Armenia. Everyone wants to see the land for which the Presidents of the
United States, Russia and France made an unprecedented statement. A
country, the lands of which are controlled in words by anyone –
America, Russia, Turkey, and even Armenia, but in reality people
isolated from all over the world, who do not imagine all the noise
their land arouses in the world.
Different people join the collection of signatures: militaries,
civil servants, students. Perhaps under pressure of the "bottom"
the Karabakhi authorities, will finally seriously think to repair the
Stepanakert-Agdam-Martuni road, rather than to build a road bypassing
the domestic Agdam.
