ArmInfo.Former commander of the Artsakh Defense Army, former secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Security Council Samvel Babayan d does not recruit Artsakh people with the aim of returning them to Nagorno-Karabakh. This is reported by the press service of the politician, pointing to the information circulating in the media and social networks recently.
"Bearing in mind the sensitivity of the problem and the great temptation of social and political circles to take advantage of it, we declare that Samvel Babayan is not engaged in such activities. Instead, he presented comprehensive approaches regarding the status of Nagorno-Karabakh and the return of the Armenian population for discussion by the representative body of the Republic of Artsakh and the government. Considering these approaches, it was proposed to form an appropriate working group and give it the right to conduct direct negotiations with the Azerbaijani side on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh and the return of the Armenian population. In addition, Samvel Babaya always emphasizes in his public speeches that discussing the possibility of returning the population without clarifying the status of Nagorno- Karabakh is an adventure," the message says.
Samvel Babayan also has information about the activities of groups involved in including Artsakh citizens in the lists of "returnees". In this regard, he calls on law enforcement agencies to carry out appropriate work in this direction, and calls on Artsakh's compatriots "not to believe the false promises of self-proclaimed saviors and not to contribute to their business activities."
