“Heritage” party is not going to give attributive evaluations to the steps of the RA authorities concerning the Karabakh conflict and at the moment is only demands the “Madrid principles” to be revealed. “The Madrid principles, of which we are aware from non-official sources, are not acceptable for “Heritage”, and the authorities of the country must not accept them are basis for negotiations”.

Head of the administration of the party Anahit Bakhshyan also said, “Our party considers the one-sided giveaway of territories, the one-sided return of refugees and the delay in deciding upon the status of Nagorno Karabakh”. By saying “compromise” Mrs. Bakhshyan means ‘territories for territories’, for instance, Aghdam in return for Shahumian, and by saying return of refugees, she means repatriation of Armenians of Azerbaijan not in the liberated areas, but where they used to live...

“…in Baku, Sumgayit, etc. Let them go and live in their houses, or sell them and come back,” she said.

Press speaker of “Heritage” Hovsep Khurshudyan also said, “The issue of the refugees needs a complex solution. We want people to return to their houses, but people cannot be divided into two classes: Azerbaijani refugees as first-class, and Armenians from Nakhijevan, Shahumian and Baku as second-class. We do not understand why international forces are located in order to provide security of the Azeri refugees while none are allotted to provide security for Armenian refugees from Nakhijevan.”

“Heritage” warns the authorities that their style of action can lead to irreparable processes which are unacceptable from the point of view of the interests of Armenia and NKR. Mrs. Bakhshyan claimed that everyone is aware of the fact that the fragile peace in the region since 1994 is result of the three-party agreement which was signed by RA, Azerbaijan and NKR through the mediation of Russia. “Heritage” party calls on the RA authorities to realize all the dangers and to put the issue to public discussion.

Otherwise, “Heritage” promises to join with the other forces concerned in the Karabakh conflict, and the people, and to get out on a march.

“We agree with the style of the opposition: of external challenges threaten us, internal problems can be put aside for a while. If the authorities cannot use the opportunity given by the opposition and face external challenges, they put the interests of RA and NKR in danger. In the latter, case, “Heritage” will take steps”, Hovsep Khurshudyan said. Mrs. Bakhshyan clarified that there will be no terror, “Do not forget that the October 27 terrorist act followed the crisis in the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, but that is no solution.”

“Heritage” also informed that they have on their agenda the draft about the settlement of the Karabakh conflict which was not included in the NA agenda in 2007.
