Edward Nalbandyan clarified about his resonant statement about the  return of the territories around Artsakh

Edward Nalbandyan clarified about his resonant statement about the  return of the territories around Artsakh

ArmInfo.Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in an interview with the Voice of America gave some explanations about his resonant statement about the return  of the territories around Artsakh within the framework of the Karabakh settlement.

The minister, in particular, assured that his statement in the media  was presented fragmentary, torn from the context. "In general, I  spoke about the three principles and six elements of the Karabakh  conflict settlement, which are presented in the statements of the  heads of the OSCE Minsk Group member states, which are developed and  presented as a single whole by these same countries. In this regard,  attempts to separate these principles and elements from each other  will make the settlement process impossible, this is exactly what  Azerbaijan has done for years, "Nalbandian said, quoting President  Serzh Sargsyan from the rostrum of the 72nd session of the UN General  Assembly that the main issue negotiations is the status of Nagorno-  Karabakh. 

"As the president said, if the issue of the status of Nagorno  Karabakh is resolved, all other issues will find their fair and  logical solution, since all other issues are derived from the issue  of the status of the NKR," the minister said, stressing again that  resolution of all issues is possible only with the participation of  Nagorno- Karabakh in the negotiations. 

Nalbandian also said that on September 23 he will meet with  Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, during which the  schedule of the visit of the Minsk mediators to the region and the  issues of organizing a possible meeting of the two heads of state  will be discussed. It should be noted that at the 6th forum of  Armenia-Diaspora, Nalbandian stated that within the framework of the  Karabakh settlement, those territories will be handed over, in the  transfer of which there will not be a threat to the security of  Artsakh. This caused a public outcry. The spokesman for the head of  Artsakh David Babayan, in a conversation with the correspondent of  ArmInfo, in particular, stated that all the territories around  Artsakh are important in terms of ensuring its security. And the  vice-speaker of the Artsakh parliament Bagram Balyan stated that the  borders of Artsakh are fixed by the republic's constitution and can   not be changed.
