Victoria Nuland should better give advice to the Azerbaijan government to petition to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) authorities about the future of the Azerbaijani saboteurs, NKR National Assembly member Gagik Petrosyan said.
Gagik Petrosyan: Nuland should advise Azerbaijan to petition to Karabakh
STEPANAKERT, FEBRUARY 19, ARTSAKHPRESS: Petrosyan noted the aforementioned with respect to the call by Victoria Nuland, the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs, for making a humanitarian gesture and releasing the saboteurs. In his words, Nuland should have expressed her view when Azerbaijan was carrying out acts of sabotage and killing a sleeping man.
To note, Armenian lieutenant Gurgen Margaryan was killed in his sleep by Azerbaijani officer Ramil Safarov with an axe, during a NATO Partnership for Peace program in Budapest on February 19, 2004. “It would have been better if the US Department of State had focused on the fact that the Azerbaijani saboteurs are killing children. Had they been prisoners of war, perhaps I would have agreed with Nuland; but they are saboteurs,” Petrosyan stressed. The MP added, however, that this matter can be discussed if Azerbaijan were to petition to the NKR as equal states.
