Document on handing over territories can guarantee NKR security better than its army?

PanARMENIAN.Net - Member of Republic opposition party Suren Surenyants said the Karabakh conflict will remain unsettled unless public both in Armenia and Azerbaijan renounce "Karabakh is ours" wording.



"Armenia can't be independent unless relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey are settled. The republic can't survive under the circumstances," he told a news conference.



Surenyants is convinced that resolution of the conflict is possible only in case of mutual concessions. "If we have to cede the territories liberated during the war in exchange for security guarantee, we should agree," he said.



Asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, who will act as the guarantor of security, Surenyants voiced confidence that the document to be signed by Armenia and Azerbaijan will be the guarantee of NKR security. "This document can better guarantee security than force and tensions," he said.



The Nagorno Karabakh Republic was proclaimed on September 2, 1992. According to NKR Constitution legally elected authorities and the President guarantee security of the Republic. The territorial integrity is secured by the Defense Army. The security zone includes 7 liberated regions.
