"I'D Like To Advise Azerbaijan Not To Make Challenges, Because It
May Result In Bringing Down Of The Aircrafts Of The Azerbaijani
Air Forces," Arman Melikyan, Ex-Foreign Minister Of NKR, Candidate
For President Of Armenia Arman Melikyan, Told Media, Friday, When
Commenting On The Azerbaijani Government'S Decision Allowing The
Azerbaijani Air Forces To Hit The Civil Aircrafts Over The Territory
Of NKR.
"In Such Situations, It Is Much More Efficient Using Anti-Aircraft
Defense And Not Air Forces. As Far As I Know The Karabakh Anti-Aircraft
Defense Is Combat Efficient. I Think, It Is More Like An Attempt Of
Political Blackmailing, Which Can Hardly Be A Success. In the light of
the Azerbaijani leadership's political stance and constant stirring of
Armenophobia, such populist statements sound at least unconvincing,"
the politician said.
He believes that the role of the world community in resolution of
the Karabakh conflict is minimal. If elected, Melikyan is going to
initiate a process for recognition of NKR alongside with the peace
process within the OSCE MG. Melikyan believes that the problems around
the Karabakh conflict must be studied from different point of view.
Over the years of the armed actions the population and territories
were exchanged, which is extremely painful process for hundreds of
thousands of people.
"I think that resolution of the conflict must not be just within the
interests of any of the conflicting countries, the humanitarian aspect
is more important here. No one should be displaced any longer.
Unfortunately, no one expects Armenians in Sumgait or Baku, and no one
expects Azerbaijanis anywhere in the territories under control of NKR.
It is necessary to create normal living conditions for the people just
where they currently live. At the same time, in future the relations
of the two peoples may become more positive, " Melikyan said.
Joint online press conference of experts from various countries for
Armenian and Azerbaijani mass media on the relevant problems are
organized within the project "Expansion of knowledge of Armenians
and Azerbaijanis about each other and confidence building through
first-hand information". The project of the "Region" Research Center
(Armenia) and Peace and Democracy Institute (Azerbaijan) is supported
by the British Embassies in Armenia and Azerbaijan.
