ArmInfo. The Nagorno-Karabakh issue remains unresolved, the ex-commander of the  Artsakh Defense Army, former secretary of the Nagorno-Karabakh Security Council Samvel Babayan told reporters on November 29. 

He was invited to testify at the commission of the National Assembly  of the Republic of Armenia to investigate the circumstances of the  44-day war.

As Babayan noted, the Karabakh conflict has not been resolved and  cannot be resolved at any time.

When asked how he envisioned a solution to this issue, Samvel Babayan  replied that at one time he proposed creating a Committee. "But since  the Karabakh authorities probably have their own options, and the  Armenian opposition believes that I am interfering in their plans, so  I refrained from doing so. We have a very smart opposition, I would  not want to interfere with them, they have their own plans, they they  see the future - where they are going, what they are doing," Babayan  ironically noted. He added that everyone is guilty of the loss of  Artsakh and its surrender to Azerbaijan, including the Armenian  authorities, led by Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol  Pashinyan. Moreover, among the culprits the politician treated both  journalists and society as a whole.

Babayan also stated that after the well-known events he did not meet  with Artsakh President Samvel Shahramanyan and does not know about  any intentions of the Karabakh leadership.

Answering the question about the reasons for his first refusal to  participate in the work of the commission to investigate the  circumstances of the 44-day war, the ex-commander noted that he had  previously proposed to study the events of the last 20 years that  took place around Nagorno-Karabakh, but the commission members  refused. Now he came to the meeting because he was invited. Babayan  said that he will not avoid questions and is ready to answer  honestly.
