Congratulating everyone for the Karabakh Independence Day, the NKR
former foreign minister Arman Melikyan stated on September 2 that
unfortunately there are people among us who speak about the decision
of the Armenian Supreme Council in 1989 on Karabakh’s unification
to Armenia. According to Arman Melikyan, we must stop speaking about
it because there is the 1991 independence declaration which declared
Nagorno-Karabakh an independent republic. Arman Melikyan notes that
the independence, the struggle for independence brought about a new
reality a new line between Armenia, Nagorno-Karabakh and Iran.
Assessing the present stage of the settlement, Arman Melikyan says it
is a phase of indeterminateness from the point of the settlement. At
the same time, he sees a solution in the Karabakh settlement, but
the point is whose solution it is.
"I assure you that there are several scenarios of the settlement
of Nagorno-Karabakh issue. The Armenian version lacks among these
scenarios. But this scenario exists but today’s government does not
have any will and wish to fulfill it. But I can assure you that we
have opportunities and sooner or later we will come to it. And what
seemed impossible yesterday may come true tomorrow. I can affirm
that there are solutions and work is carried out in this connection",
states Arman Melikyan.
In answer to the question what is the Armenian scenario, Arman
Melikyan answered, "The Armenian scenario is to preserve all the
present territories of Nagorno-Karabakh as well as to defend the
rights of the Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan, and Nagorno-Karabakh
self-determination will not be the price for normalization of the
Armenian and Turkish relations.
