Galust Sahakyan: Artsakh can't be part of Azerbaijan

PanARMENIAN.Net - Publication of Madrid principles doesn't spell fast settlement of NKR conflict. "Co-Chairs believed it necessary to start an open discussion on negotiation process and it's a very positive step," RPA Parliamentary Faction Leader Galust Sahakyan told a news conference today.



Sahakyan estimated Madrid principles as a progress in negotiation and emphasized that establishment of Artsakh status through self-determination was first specified in Madrid principles.



Galust Sahakyan stressed that issues of security guarantees and refugees' return remain unresolved and need serious discussion. He repeated that Artsakh status is the most important issue to Armenia, while others are secondary ones. "Artsakh can't be a part of Azerbaijan." Galust Sahakyan concluded.
