YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The territories of Soviet
Azerbaijan which passed under the control of NKR Defence Army
after the war are not subject to returning and are the compensation
resources of Azeri Armenian refugees’ losses. Former Foreign Minister
of NKR Arman Melikian expressed such an opinion at a September 17
conference. According to him, if the Armenian sides in its time had
expressed this position clearly, today there would not be any problems
connected with the bargainings.

"Today it is the time when our basings on not returning or ceding
the territories should be voiced loudly as a final decision which is
not liable for reconsideration," A. Melikian said. According to him,
in the coming year the authorities of Armenia and NKR have serious
tasks to realize connected with this issue."
