“First Azerbaijan must return the occupied territories of Nagorno Karabakh” (video)
Azerbaijan can achieve its cherished goals through recognition of Nagorno Karabakh, says Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan. He thinks that from the full package of negotiations documents Azerbaijan is trying to single out everything connected with the return of territories, “But before bringing forward territorial demands, Azerbaijan itself must at least return the occupied territories of Nagorno Karabakh and recognize Nagorno Karabakh. As in case of recognition it will deal with an entity, which is authorized to discuss such issues. The Republic of Armenia cannot resolve such issues without Nagorno Karabakh. It is the shortest way, by which Azerbaijan can achieve its cherished goal,” said Shavarsh Kocharyan noting that he is talking about the regions of Martuni, Martakert, Shahumyan, which are under Azerbaijan’s occupation. Touching upon the demand of Russia’s Ambassador Ivan Volinkin to show a document according to which Russia is selling weapons to Azerbaijan, Shavarsh Kocharyan replied, “It is obvious that Russia’s Ambassador to Armenia shouldn’t have answered that question. There are other bodies in Russia, to which that issue was presented.” Watch the video for details!
