Shahen Gantaharyan, chief editor of “Azdag” daily, commented on the statement made by newly appointed president of NKR, Bako Sahakyan.
We should recall that after becoming president, Sahakyan stressed that the main problem of NKR is the foreign policy and the resolution of Karabakh-Azerbaijan conflict.
“It seems that the president didn’t say any new thing, because all of you know what kind of problems faces NKR and what is its main goals, but, there is a big “but” here. As you noticed Sahakyan announced “Karabakh-Azerbaijan conflict”, I want all of you to focus on this statement. This statesman is new, no one before had talked about such statement. What do we have now? Sahakyan wants to stress that there must be negotiations between Stepanakert and Baku. In this case there can’t be any problem of reorganization of Karabakh, because if he stresses the idea in this way then he wants to mention that Karabakh is an independent country and can do the negotiations itself. Armenia will be Karabakh’s supporter and I’m sure we can do everything in order to support Karabakh. I agree that Safarov’s case is the best chance to use and to announce such statements. We should wait and see how Azerbaijan will react!” said Gantaryan.
