ArmInfo. "If the President of Azerbaijan puts forward territorial claims against Yerevan, the 2800th anniversary of which we will celebrate in October, how can the Karabakh problem be solved?" - President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan responded to the question of the First Secretary of the Azerbaijani Embassy in Germany Sadi Jafarov about when the Karabakh conflict will be resolved and when the Azerbaijanis who once lived in Nagorno-Karabakh, including himself, can return to places of early living.
"First of all, I am very grateful for this chain of questions posed by my fellow countryman, because I am also rooted in Karabakh." The Karabakh problem can be resolved, and although I doubt it a little, you can return to Karabakh or the surrounding areas only If your country's government is sobering up and refuses its unrealistic expectations regarding the outcome of the talks, you want to live free, you want to live in Karabakh. "Believe that Karabakh people want to live freely and want to live on their historical land, which they have duschee from the depths of thousands of heritage, and they do not want you to destroy this heritage.
And why several regions of Azerbaijan were under the control of the self-defense forces of Nagorno- Karabakh, you know this very well. You know that the Karabagh people just conducted a civilized way of referendum, appealed to the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union - this was demanded by the current law of the Soviet Union, so that the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region from Azerbaijan would become part of Armenia. In return, your then authorities tried to smother this legitimate demand and desire of the Karabakh people with weapons. By the way, I must say that at that time all European structures showed a very positive approach and said, yes, Nagorno-Karabakh must self-determination. But the war does not share chocolates, unfortunately. I hate war. However, it so happened that we had to create a security belt to protect ourselves, "the RA President explained.
Serge Sargsyan again addressed this conference to the participants of the conference, stressing the readiness of the Armenian side for a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh issue." If you demonstrate sanity - I'm not talking about the people of Azerbaijan, talking about the leadership of Azerbaijan - and indeed you will sit down at the negotiating table and understand that this problem can be solved only and only on the basis of compromises. I do not want to take the time of the participants, I just want to say that it's time to be sober. Yerevan has a 2800-year history, the Armenian people live in their historical territory for at least five thousand years, and Azerbaijan or other peoples that God knows when they began to identify themselves can not break the will of the Armenian people. I thank you for this chain of questions, "the president said.
At the same time, he stressed that the opportunities of the Armenian side grow from year to year, because the world quietly begins to understand how tolerant the Armenians are, and in what difficult geopolitical conditions they are. "Our problem is not only Azerbaijan.
Our problem is the unconditional support of Turkey by Azerbaijan. And I must say that Azerbaijani self- complacency in the sense that Armenia is isolated is a myth. Myth. There is nothing like that. And if Armenia were isolated, would not have a higher average salary than Azerbaijan, which has oil, gas and so on, I can bring other indicators, "the Armenian leader summed up.
