People in Karabakh have a very negative attitude towards proposals
involving return of territories. They were deeply shocked to hear the
foreign minister of Armenia Vardan Oskanyan say that "we will give"
Karvachar after the referendum.
The reporter of the Lragir.am asked the opinion of citizens on this
announcement in Stepanakert.
G. Sahakyan, 73: "Apparently, the minister did not study the map
properly. How does he imagine life in Karabakh without Karvachar?
Would he live in Karabakh without Karvachar?"
Svetlana, 43: "Perhaps they are hopeful that Baku will reject the idea
of referendum and Karvachar will remain ours. But what if they agree?"
Andrey Ghulyan, pensioner: "Most inhabitants of Shahumyan, who remained
in Karabakh, live in Karvachar. What will their fate be?"
"Frankly speaking, I am surprised at Oskanyan. Who gave him the right
to speak on our behalf? He has never lived and will never live in
Karabakh, will he?"
