Politics

“The OSCE Minsk group Co-Chairs were very cautious and didn't open the brackets,” said the commander of a Shushi special battalion and member of “Miatsum” (unification) Initiative Zhirayr Sefilyan.

“I think Serzh Sargsyan had asked the OSCE Minsk group Co-Chairs not to reveal the reality during a Yerevan conference and promised to do it himself,” said Sefilyan.

Zhirayr Sefilyan is confident that Serzh Sargsyan will open the brackets tomorrow during the meeting with the leaders of Armenian political forces. “I think that tomorrow Sargsyan will say that the Armenian troops will be withdrawn from the five liberated territories and Russian peacekeepers will be deployed there instead. I am aware of other details but I wouldn’t like to reveal them,” he said.

With regard to the opposition’s decision to decline Sargysan’s invitation to the meeting, Sefilyan said, “There is nothing to talk to that man over the Nagorno Karabakh issue.”

KARABAKHI PEOPLE ARE THREATENED BY MENACING WAR OUTBREAK

“During his recent visit to Karabakh Serzh Sargsyan took unprecedented measures of security and surprised the Karabakhi people,” said Alexandre Kananyan, member of the Miatsum Initiative. “I possess verified information that Serzh Sargsyan had a secret meeting with the Karabakhi leadership and military command. During the meeting Sargsyan said with an air of defying objections that he had decided to resolve the Karabakh issue on the principles of Madrid. According to Serzh Sargsyan Armenian troops will be withdrawn from the five territories under question, and in two years a referendum on status will be held after which Karvachar/Kelbadjar/ will also be surrendered to Azerbaijan.”

Kananyan said Serzh Sargsyan is already trying to bind this approach to the people of Karabakh through the police and mayors of villages. He makes them believe that the war may escalate in case they disagree.
