Lachin, Kelbajar and NKR should by all means be under Armenia's control

August 5, 2009 - 19:56 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - "First RA and NKR leaders agreed some part of liberated territories could be subject to mutual concessions in the course of NKR conflict settlement. Yet, the territories, which if ceded, couldn't harm NKR safety, were discussed," RA ex-Premier Hrant Bagratyan said at a joint news conference with United Labor Party Leader Gurgen Arsenyan in Yerevan.



In his turn, Gurgen Arsenyan noted that mutual concessions in ceding of territories could be agreed on only in case they don't contradict RA and NKR national interests. Lachin, Kelbajar and NKR should by all means be under Armenia's control, he added.



Hrant Bagratyan agreed that the above mentioned regions must not be ceded, noting that Armenians can't be deprived of their land unless they agree to it. He also emphasized that non- population of liberated territories was a mistake, as in that case the world community would have to face the fact.
