President of the Nagorno Karabakah Republic Bako Sahakyan has turned
down the reports on alleged pressure on Armenia and Karabakh with
a view of forcing the Armenian side to concede several liberated
territories surrounding Nagorno Karabakh, Russian RBC reports.
"The reports on alleged pressure on Armenia and Karabakh do not
correspond to reality," Sahakyan told a press conference in Moscow.
According to the President, the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict is impossible without the direct participation of Nagorno
Karabakh. "This should be the starting point. There has been no
precedent in the world of a destiny of a whole nation determined
without its participation." Therefore, he said, the format of
negotiations determined at Budapest summit in 1994 needs to be
restored.
Sahakyan reiterated his earlier position that the return of Nagorno
Karabakh under Azerbaijani jurisdiction is impossible.
The NKR President blamed Baku for the escalation of situation at the
line of contact. He said Baku's actions should be taken seriously. "We
cannot view this as a simple game. Unfortunately, many people are
dying."
