Who is the RA representing?
Commander of the NKR Defense Army Movses Hakobyan is unaware of what Serzh Sargsyan and Ilham Aliyev are discussing during the talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.
"The conflict will not be settled without Karabakh's direct participation. It will only be settled by the will of the NKR people," said Hakobyan.
The intermediaries are also talking about the need for NKR's participation in the negotiations, but the process continues without the NKR. What do you think the negotiating sides are doing? In response, Movses Hakobyan said: "I don't know. We haven't given the RA authorities the mandate to represent NKR in the negotiations."
Movses Hakobyan told "A1+" that he is not even aware of the Madrid Principles. He says that all rumors from officials and average citizens about handing the liberated territories are illogical. "The people of the NKR have proved that that is impossible to impose."
If imposed by the RA authorities, will the NKR dislocate the Armenian forces from the liberated territories? In response, Movses Hakobyan said: "The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is an independent, sovereign state."
Unlike many, the Commander of the NKR Defense Army is very serious toward Azerbaijan's bellicose declarations and doesn't think that they are made as threats.
