Hovhannes Igityan: New Referendum in Karabakh Is a TrapMarch 7, 2006 - 17:06 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A new referendum in Nagorno Karabakh proposed at the Rambouillet meeting of the Armenian and Azeri Presidents is a trap, Chair of External Relations Commission of the National Assembly of Armenia in 1995-1999 Hovhannes Igityan stated in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, the returns of the referendum on NKR's independence in 1991 are in fact canceled if it is the case. «The move can be considered as a concession by Azerbaijan, however it is not so. The NKR should be the one to set conditions of holding (or not holding) a referendum. A legal formula should be «invented» for displaced persons and refugees - only the NKR Ministry of Internal Affairs can deal with that,» Igityan remarked. At that he added that the legal framework for recognition of Nagorno Karabakh independence will be weakened.
