KAREN BABURIAN: ARMENIAN SIDE HAS MORE WEIGHTY GROUNDS FOR RAISING QUESTION
ABOUT AZERBAIJAN’S AGGRESSION IN UN
STEPANAKERT, December 6 (Noyan Tapan). Karen Baburian, Secretary of
NKR Security Council, considers Azerbaijan’s initiative of discussing
the issue about “occupied territories” in UN “extremely inexpedient and
non-constructive” explaining such conduct by Azerbaijan’s willingness
to represent itself as the victim of the conflict. “But in this case
Armenia has more weighty grounds for raising in UN the issue about
Azerbaijan’s aggression and mass violation of rights and freedoms
of NKR citizens,” Karen Baburian declared in his interview to the
Regnum news agency. In particular, as the NKR Security Council
Secretary emphasized, Azerbaijan is doing its best for hampering
implementation of any humanitarian actions in the Karabakh territory,
it is striving for depriving NKR population of communication with the
outer world, is rudely flouting the basic rights and freedoms fixed in
the Declaration on Human Rights,” he declared. Karen Baburian doesn’t
consider necessary to involve other international structures into
the process of Karabakh settlement. He emphasized that “such delicate
issues as settlement of conflicts should be solved by the structures
entirely involved into the process.” The OSCE Minsk Group has been
engaged in the Karabakh conflict for a long time and seriously, it has
worked out precise approaches for itself. The Co-chairmen of Minsk
Group are also acquainted with all shady aspects of this problem,
they know all so-called undercurrents. That’s why at present this is
the most competent international organization in this sphere and we
mustn’t hamper its work,” NKR Security Council Secretary declared.
He also gave assurance that at present absence of common sense of
Baku first of all hampers the advance of the Karabakh settlement
process. “Anti-Armenian hysteria in Azerbaijan’s mass media in no
way contributes to reconciliation of the sides, moreover, makes
this impossible for 2-3 next generations, either.” Baburian also
menitoned that all epithets used by Azerbaijan in this process, such
as “uncontrolled territories,” “most probably, show that de facto
Azerbaijan resigned itslef with the loss of these territories.” “There
are no uncontrolled territories as such. As for the territories meant
by Baku, they are controlled by NKR authorities. It’s a different
matter that they aren’t under Azerbaijan’s control but this doesn’t
hamper their existence and prosperity,” Karabakh’s Security Council
Secretary emphasized. Karen Baburian is convinced that the real way
of making Nagorno Karabakh processs constructive is to sit at the
table of negotiations where the main player is Nagorno Karabakh. “In
other words, no all-embracing solution of Karabakh problem is possible
without NKR’s participation in the process of negotiations.”
