The menace hanging over Karabakh can be directed against Armenia - opinion (video)
Karabakh must either become an independent state with all its rights and obligations, or join Armenia, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Armen Navasardyan said on Sept. 2. Talking to reporters in Yerevan, Mr. Navasardyan said Karabakh is inextricably linked to all events taking place in the Caucasus and like Armenia, it is also considered to be part of the Greater Middle East. He says a completely new situation emerged in the region after August 24 when Turkish troops entered Syria. “If the countries in the region worsen their relations with Russia, exacerbation will be observed in the Karabakh issue, too. Mr. Navasardyan thinks the issue has fall back into a conflict again as Armenia did not meet the demands set before it. “When the Madrid Principles became known, many thought that Russia will agree to territorial concession, while the United States and France want to preserve the status quo of Nagorno-Karabakh but there is no such thing,” he said. Armen Navasardyan stresses that although the conflict is frozen, the military situation continues to remain a threat. The menace hanging over Karabakh can be directed against Armenia unless we resolve the problem,” he said.
