In an interview with Tert.am, member of the Nagorno-Karabakh Parliament Vardges Baghryan commented on the latest 4-day hostilities.
No proposal can be implemented without Nagorno-Karabakh’s participation: Vardges Baghryan
STEPANAKERT, APRIL 10, ARTSAKHPRESS: No proposal can be implemented without Nagorno-Karabakh’s participation.
“We are masters of our fate, and no one can tell us how we should live,” he said.
As regards possible deployment of peacemakers in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone, Mr Baghryan said that the issue can only be discussed after the major problem has been resolved – Nagorno-Karabakh’s political status.
Mr Baghryan, should we only hope for our people and army, amid the responses by the international organizations we were members of, which have not justified our expectations, particularly our strategic partner Russia?
I find it difficult to make judgments on the real situation. Some issues arouse concern, particularly a statement by Dmitry Rogozin that will continue arms sales to Azerbaijan under a relevant agreement.
The four-day hostilities showed the strength of Armenians’ spirit and their unit in defending their homeland. This nation’s spirit cannot be broken. We have proved it once again and we will, no doubt, defend our homeland. Of course, our enemy has better weapons, and we have to think of concrete steps. However, relying on ourselves does not at all mean mistrusting all others. This world is not only we and Azerbaijan. We see the international community, numerous organizations and individuals have proved with their deeds they are for justice and Armenians. We should not be pro-west, pro-Russian pro-American. We must be pro-Armenian, relying on ourselves and doing our best to defend our country.
