The main topic of the discussion during the conference of ARF Hay
Dat Committees was the settlement of the NKR issue.
Member of the ARF Artsakh central committee Armen Sargsyan dwelt on
the necessity for Karabakh to become a full part of the negotiation,
the importance of the clearance of NKR and Armenian functions in them
noting that Armenia is to become a guarantee of Karabakh’s security
and independence. Hence, it is time, according to the ARF member,
for Armenia and NKR to sign an agreement in this connection.
Armen Sargsyan as well as underlined that the opinion to surrender
territories as a concession must be eliminated within the Armenian
political figures because it will bring about a new war.
He says that it is time to start the process of NKR recognition which
seems to be stopped and we started to negotiate with Azerbaijan which
will not bring about pro-Armenian solutions.
In response, the representative of the U.S Eastern wing of Hay Dat
Committee Ani Chakhalshyan expressed her willingness to support
this process but at the same time wondering how other countries will
recognize the NKR independence if Armenia has not recognized it yet.
Armen Sargsyan answered that until NKR is out of the negotiations,
it inexpedient for Armenia to recognize its independence.
In the course of the discussion, the repopulation of the liberated
areas was underlined which is to be done by the Republic of Armenia,
according to ARF Artsakh committee member Levon Hayryan.
By the way, the latter criticized the Armenian government noting
that the Armenian power and the political elite do not respect the
NKR Constitution as they keep dwelling on the surrender of areas.
