    Armenian authorities unable to defend Karabakh - pressure group leader

    The Armenian authorities cannot defend properly the liberated Armenian
    lands in the international arena, the head of the Defence of the
    Liberated Territories political initiative, Zhirayr Sefilyan, said at
    the National Press Club today.

    He said that by fighting for their land, the Armenians proved that the
    liberated territories belong to the Armenians, not to the Azerbaijanis.
    Nevertheless, the behaviour of representatives of the Armenian
    leadership in the international arena is incompatible with the courage
    and aspirations of the freedom fighters.

    Zhirayr Sefilyan noted that at present, the USA and West are showing
    great interest in the liberated territories. As for Turkey, it is more
    interested in the valley of the Araz River. Zhirayr Sefilyan explained
    why this territory: "This territory is located on the very border and
    he who deploys his troops here will have an opportunity to control the
    entire region."

    On this basis, West and America are keen to settle here. At the same
    time, speaking about Putin's proposal, Sefilyan noted that "he does
    not take it seriously, considering it to be another slap in the face
    of our authorities".

    To recap, the mass media reported that Putin's suggestion was "to
    withdraw the Armenian troops from the occupied territories outside the
    Nagornyy Karabakh Republic [NKR] in exchange for holding a referendum
    on the status of Karabakh both in Karabakh and in Azerbaijan".
