Nagorno Karabakh for centuries long has been part of Armenia but at the Karabakh was declared a disputed territory, said Ara Abramian the head of CAR (Council of Armenians of Russia) during an interview to The Novoye Russkoye Slovo. "Its population emphatically was trying to realize the right for self-determination. The Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh are concurrent part of the whole Armenian nation. Currently again the issue of recognizing the NKR as a separate Armenian state is put. And all the opposite arguments against this idea as if 'the economic gravitation of Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh is towards Baku' are already part of the past. I want to say directly: the idea to refuse from reuniting with the Armenians of the Nagorno Karabakh is the political compromise to Azerbaijan, after which Armenians will never go," stressed Ara Abramian.
