Karabakh won't surrender liberated territories
Citizens of Nagorno Karabakh won't surrender the liberated territories, said Jivan Avetisyan, director of "Smoking Fuse", the first documentary on Madrid Principles.
"We decided to shoot a film regarding the recent political developments in Armenia. The day may come when we confront with a fait accompli on Karabakh issue," Avetisyan told a news conference on Nov. 4.
He said he tried to be maximally impartial when presenting the opinion of Karabakh people on the Madrid Document.
"Madrid Principles envisage withdrawal of Armenian troops from the territories liberated by our soldiers and return of Azeri refugees there. What will happen then? Azerbaijan will meddle with Karabakh affairs and the tragedy will repeat. If we surrender territories, Baku will want more. Madrid Document is a mine which will explode in Armenia sooner or later if Yerevan doesn't reject it," Avetisyan said.
