Shavarsh Kocharyan tried to explain the resonant statement of his  leadership about the surrender of territories in the course of the  Karabakh settlement

ArmInfo. RA Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan tried to explain the resonant statement of his head Edward Nalbandian about the possibility of the Armenian side surrendering "territories that do not pose a threat to Artsakh's  security" within the framework of the Karabakh settlement within the  framework of the 6th Armenia-Diaspora forum.  Kocharyan admitted that  the resonance caused by this statement of Nalbandian is not clear for  him.  "Nalbandian did not say anything new, he voiced the previously  voiced proposals of the Minsk mediators.  

Nalbandyan made it clear that the Armenian side has put forward two new conditions in the negotiations, first, to ensure complete security and unavailability  for any arms of the corridor that will link Armenia to Artsakh, and  secondly, when surrendering the territories, this must be done in  this way in order not to jeopardize the multilayered security of  Nagorno-Karabakh, "Kocharyan explained.  Moreover, he stressed, both  the Armenian side and the co-chairs have repeatedly stated that while  the Vienna and St. Petersburg principles are not negotiations will  not be continued. "That is, while the atmosphere of confidence does  not reign in the region and there is no stoppage of exchanges on the  continuation of the talks," the deputy minister said, stressing that  Baku refuses these and other agreements, torpedoing with its  militaristic policy a peaceful settlement of the problem.  He also  touched upon the issue of international recognition of the Armenian  Genocide in Ottoman Turkey, stressing that the process should  continue to actively promote and achieve that Ankara itself  recognized this crime against humanity. Speaking about  Armenia-Diaspora relations, Kocharyan expressed concern over the fact  that the ranks of the Armenian communities are thinning out, and the  youth does not show interest in pan-Armenian issues.
