Armenian Defense Minister: “Nagorno Karabakh issue has already been settled by force”
Today.AZ
Armenian Defense Minister announced that Nagorno Karabakh issue should be settled diplomatically.
“Campaign on bellicose rhetorics in Azerbaijan and distortion of historical facts started in the 1980s. Azerbaijan has once used the armed way of the conflict resolution. Nagorno Karabakh issue has been settled by force and now it should be brought to its logical end by diplomatic ways”, noted Seyran Ohanyan at a meeting with the audience of the summer school of Ararat Strategic Research Center, according to Armenia’s public television.
Ohanyan also noted that one of the directions for overcoming the problems, facing Armenia, is national solidarity. According to the Ministry, in the moment of threats, Armenian people demonstrate unity, but uses peace time not effectively to prepare for future threats.

Georgy Vanyan: “Resolution of the conflict with Azerbaijan is a vital and top priority issue for Armenia”
Today.AZ
Settlement of the Karabakh conflict is a real, not cosmetic resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and it can not be subjugated to the use of the third factors, said chairman Caucasus Center of Peacekeeping Initiatives Georgy Vanyan in his interview to Day.Az.
According to him, this is a vital issue for both countries and both peoples and importance of this issue can not be compared to the factor of opened or closed border with Turkey.
He noted that resumption and freezing of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is a small change for the third countries.
“The conflict resolution lays in the area of direct Azerbaijani-Armenian relations. Our internal potential should be used for the purpose. Resolution of the conflict with Azerbaijan is a vital and top priority issue for Armenia. It can not lay in the area “of changing interests” of some third countries, either neighbor ones, or super states or simply states.”
He said the real progress in the Armenian-Turkish relations will undoubtedly cause progress in the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.
“But this will not occur in the geopolitical field. The thaw in the relations can be possible in case of profound changes in Armenia. It does not mean change of powers. I imply the timely reassessment of national interests and review of development priorities”, said Vanyan.

Zurab Todua: “Nagorno Karabakh is too expensive for Armenia”
Today.az
Day.Az interview with famous Russian political scientist Zurab Todua:
-How would you comment on the fact of confidential talks between the Armenian and Turkish diplomats?
- I do not see a sensation in the news about the talks between representatives of Turkey and Armenia. Such talks have been held at times almost since the first day of existence of independent Armenia. As is known, former president of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan directly set the task to his subordinates to search opportunities and ways of settling the problems in the Armenian-Turkish relations, including the opening of borders, restoration of transportation communication and problem of “genocide” in the mid 1990s. At that time, he failed to do it.
Yet the frozen relations between the two states can not be eternal. Nagorno Karabakh is too expensive for Armenia. The currently extremely low living conditions in Azerbaijan, economic problems, striving of Armenian and Nagorno Karabakh residents to leave the country is a direct result of the blackade and the abnormal life, it led to.

Armenian Dashnaktiutyun Party: “If Armenian-Turkish border is deblocked, the Karabakh conflict may be resolved over a month”
Today AZ
If Armenian-Turkish border is deblocked, the Karabakh conflict may be resolved over a month, since in that case Azerbaijan will lose its the only seeming privilege over Armenia, director of Hay Dut central office and on political issues of ARF Dashnaktiutyun Kiro Manoyan told ArmInfo correspondent.
He also added that Turkey cannot change its position regarding the Karabakh conflict, nevertheless any positive changing in the Armenian-Turkish relations will affect the Karabakh conflict settlement process. “In that case Azerbaijan will understand that it lost. I understand the anxiety that has already risen in Azerbaijan in this context,” - Manoyan said.
At the same time he said the border will be hardly deblocked since it would be too big strep of Turkey towards Armenia. He thinks that Turkey will make any positive step towards Armenia for its propagandist purposes.
“At the same time Armenia does not have an opportunity to make compromises to Turkey as there is no compromise. The only compromise of Armenia to Turkey could be refusal of the Armenian authorities from the policy of the Armenian genocide recognition in all over the world, but I absolutely rule out such a compromise”, - Manoyan concluded.
