It’s about bringing Karabakh issue back to right to self-determination, says Armenia ex-President Kocharyan

News.am, Armenia

It is about bringing—through the negotiation process—the Karabakh issue back to the field of the right to self-determination, and trying to achieve some success by applying diplomatic skills. Second President Robert Kocharyan, who heads the “Armenia” bloc ahead of the snap parliamentary elections on June 20, stated this at Tuesday’s press conference of the leaders of this bloc.

"It is not at all about giving solutions through military operations. The country is in that state, and it is not at all right to discuss such things today. We have to start from a very low starting point; but I see some opportunity here. I cannot say 100 percent, outline a certain threshold of probability, but I see that possibility. I also see that the it’s not that the current government does not think about it at all; it is so desperate about the settlement of this issue that we should not pin our hopes on them," Kocharyan added.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
