“I want to see the person who is going to cede territories”
The Orinats Yerkir Party (OYK) supports the policy of the Armenian President on the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.
"The conflict should be settled only through peaceful talks. Mutual acceptable concessions are better than reckless confrontation. Concession means that both sides concede something," OYK MP Hovhannes Margaryan told a news conference on June 1.
"I do not believe that someone in Armenia can cede the liberated territories and I know that our people are ready to protect these lands. I want to see the person who is going to cede them. Any statement about these territories is an empty talk if it is made by someone who is in no way connected to them," said Heritage MP Larisa Alaverdyan.
The Heritage MP is negative about the policy on Nagorno Karabakh pursued by all three Presidents of Armenia.
"I do not support their stance on the Karabakh issue and I think that they made a gross error which today unites the opposition Armenian National Congress and the authorities," said Alaverdyan.
"Glory and honor to the person who will be able to solve the Karabakh conflict through a peaceful way, making it the property of NKR and Armenian people," Margaryan said without giving any names.
Larisa Alaverdyan does not think that the other political forces will be left out of political processes as a result of a dialogue between the authorities and opposition.
"I respect people who side with this or that political force but they mustn't split the field," she said.
Margaryan hailed the dialogue between the authorities and opposition, saying that the dialogue is advantageous to people.
"Jealousy" is not a political category. We are not jealous of any political force as our leader is a literate, erudite and sophisticated person who deserves all honors," he said.
Speaking about snap elections, the OYK representative said he does not see legal or political grounds for extraordinary elections while the Heritage MP said it has become a bad habit to speak about early elections.
"Even if it happens, it will not be the result of dialogue," she said.
