ARMENIA MAY GIVE GROUNDS FOR WAR

“If Armenia recognizes Karabakh’s independence, it may serve as basis for Azerbaijan to start a war and we will be accused of that”, announced Levon Melik-Shahnazaryan, a politician, pointing out that it would be better if some other country recognized Karabakh’s independence first. Besides, Melik-Shahnazaryan is convinced that if Armenia recognizes Karabakh’s independence, while the world accepts Karabakh as a part Azerbaijan, Armenia will be observed as an aggressor. “In that case it will be better to announce Karabakh as part of Armenia”.

Melik-Shahnazaryan considers Raffi Hovannisian’s initiative to recognize Nagorno-Karabakh of populist character, otherwise, he would have done it while he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Melik-Shahnazaryan does not consider that the Karabakh conflict will be solved with the support of the Minsk Group Co-Chairmen in the coming future. He does not bind any particular hope with the official visits of Co-Chairmen.

“Here they say what we want to hear, in Azerbaijan they say what Azerbaijani people want to hear, then they leave for their countries and announce that new proposals and new ideas regarding the conflict settlement is being discussed”, said the politician and added: “The Co-Chairmen do not know who Turkish people are”.

As to the results of discussion on NKR problem in UN, Melik-Shahnazaryan considers that if the Armenian diplomats present the problem properly, then the we will win definitely, since the Azerbaijani part violated the United Nations Security Council Resolution 4 in 1990s.

It is worthwhile mentioning that this issue is to be discussed at UN General Assembly on 25 September.
