ArmInfo. In the format of the Madrid principles it is impossible to resolve the Karabakh conflict. The ex-Minister of Defense of Artsakh Samvel Babayan stated this during a press conference, assuring that this year he sees no threats to the escalation of the situation on the contact line of the conflicting parties.Speaking about the angry statements of official Baku around the negotiations on Karabakh, Babayan said that this was an inherent style of Azerbaijan, calling the format of Madri pritspov, which, in his opinion, is not able to resolve the conflict.
"If the Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan takes the path of the Madrid principles, this problem cannot be solved. It is impossible to resolve this issue with the Lachin corridor, then you should tell the Karabakh people to pack your things and leave and transfer the territory of Artsakh to Azerbaijan. I say, stop, with this format, to achieve something with these principles is impossible and that's all. You will not listen, you will go this way, you will break your legs. Go, I do not interfere, but I can express my point of view, "said Babayan, asking himself as the side, who claims that he will not give up a single inch of land, is negotiating in the format of the Madrid principles.According to Babayan, Pashinyan realized that the Vienna and St. Petersburg agreements could not be implemented, so he decided to go to direct discussions with the leadership of Azerbaijan.
Alternatively, the ex-minister proposes to receive the statute of the mandate, otherwise there will be no solution to the conflict in the format of the Azerbaijan-Armenia negotiations or Azerbaijan-Artsakh, adding that the republic faces the task of changing the road map and ensuring security."The presence of Russia and the United States in this matter should not be, otherwise we will face new conflicts," said Babayan. Speaking about the process of incorporating Artsakh into Armenia as a region, Babayan noted that a roadmap for legal steps to integrate Armenia and Artsakh had to be developed in the Karabakh issue a long time ago.
