/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Arman Melikian, NKR President’s advisor on external
relations, has decided to run for the post of President of Armenia. "I
have already handed in my resignation. Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s approach
to the Karabakh problem and Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan’s stance
on struggle against corruption are inadmissible for me," Melikian
told a news conference in Yerevan.
"Levon Ter-Petrosyan still stands for return of 6 regions forming
NKR’s security belt. Presently, there is no political interest in
surrender of territories.
I think that NKR should become a full-fledged party to talks while
Armenia should deal with resolving the problem of refugees and,
finally, annul the edict of the Armenian SSR on annexation of NKAO
to Armenia," he emphasized adding that the burden of the Karabakh
conflict moved to Yerevan, what is fundamentally wrong.
