    RESETTLEMENT IS URGENT

    "I think resettlement of liberated territories is urgent. But it
    requires immense funds and human resources," said the chair of the
    Committee of Defense, Security and Law Enforcement Rudolf Martirosyan.

    "It depends on which territories are resettled. Resettlement of border
    territories is dangerous, and people should be granted privileges to
    go and live there. You cannot make people live somewhere. First you
    must provide conditions. If there are already villages where people
    live, it is necessary to create conditions for them," said Rudolf
    Martirosyan. He also emphasized since the Karabakh problem has not
    been settled yet, the solution of many other problems is delayed. Many
    think if they live in these territories, which may become an object
    of trade, they will lose years.

    According to Rudolf Martirosyan, the resettlement of liberated
    territories after the cease-fire did not become a government policy,
    it was not regulated. "Most people who settled in these territories
    had been displaced from Azerbaijan. When they started living in
    these territories, necessity occurred to provide conditions, and the
    government took care of it. Independent from how long people will live
    here, communities will be created or not, the international community
    must acknowledge this reality, and this issue need not be negotiated
    or used as small change," says the members of parliament.

    "No patch of land will be returned," the member of parliament said in
    connection with the liberated territories: He says there can always
    be a compromise but it has to be decided in negotiations, not in the
    media or statements of some politicians.

    "Azerbaijan makes such claims, and the Karabakh side must not hurry
    to state it is ready to return some territories. I see no need in
    such discussions. These issues should be negotiated, and Karabakh
    should take part in it," he said.
