WE SHOULD HAVE A TOUGH STANCE IN THE NEGOTIATIONS

 

 

“Azdak” club hosted Commander of “Arabo” detachment Manvel Yeghiazaryan yesterday.

 

The experienced commander who had played a great role in Artsakh war is sure that Azerbaijan will never stop making bellicose announcements and will try to speak with Armenia from the positions of strength. The incident recorded in Karabakh- Azerbaijani military contact line, in the morning of November 16 testifies to the before mentioned.

 

“Azerbaijanis never do anything unintentionally. I know them very well. Everything is well planned. Turkey is backing them, which is why they are trying to intimidate us. By that action they tried to put psychological pressure on us, to show that they can attack us any time. They have most probably invented a legend about the killed Azerbaijani soldier: something like “our soldier reached the Armenian entrenchment, he was going to capture the entrenchment, and he was killed.”

 

In general Samvel Yeghiazaryan considers ridiculous the bellicose announcements made by the Azerbaijanis, “I think the Azerbaijanis have problem with their memory, they forgot what happened 15 years back when they started the war. Today when they speak about war we must remind them of their past. And we shouldn’t fear war, especially because once we have won a victory in the war.

 

Anyhow M. Yeghiazaryan considers war an extreme measure for the settlement of the conflict: “I’m a soldier and I have seen how a person can tear into pieces by the blast. I have lost many friends, whose dead bodies are still in Azerbaijan. I know what is war. Normal person cannot like it. I hate wars, but in case of emergency we shouldn’t avoid it. We have entered the 21st century but the wars still continue. Georgia is a fresh example.”

 

During Artsakh war by familiarizing himself with the tactics of Azerbaijanis, the commander of “Arabo” detachment arrived at a conviction that one should be harsh with them. “In my view our stance must be tough during the negotiations. We must advance our clear conditions, if they don’t agree then it is senseless to hold any negotiations. I don’t see any other option. To jeopardize Karabakh means to break the spine of the Armenian people. Our stance should be harsh. Artsakh people are very brave.”

 

In “harsh”, “tough” stance Manvel Yeghiazaryan doesn’t exclude the option of mutual concession. “You can’t establish peace without mutual concession. No one wants to solve the issue by means of war. In my view there must be mutual concession. It is very important to clarify Artsakh’s status during the negotiations. Only after that can we think about all the other issues. They must also do their best to provide the security of Lachin, Karvachar, and Zangelan. Those territories can’t make part of Azerbaijan.

 

The freedom fighter expressed his opinion about the deployment of peacekeeping forces. “Let them accept our conditions all the other issues are up to the state figures to settle. If they decide that the presence of the peacekeeping forces will contribute to the maintenance of peace, let them deploy, but it shouldn’t be on the account of the interests of the Armenian party.

 

I would like to underscore over again that the status of Karabakh and the security issues are the priorities. In case Karabakh forms part of Azerbaijan, believe me in one-two years we will appear in blockade in Artsakh and we will have to fight with garden forks. So it is very important to clarify the before mentioned issues.”

 

M. Yeghiazaryan called society, all the political forces to be united in Karabakh issue. “Today we shouldn’t think of whether or not we like this or that person. We have also been offended many times but when it comes to Artsakh, we should stand above all that stuff. The opposition, the authorities, and society must be united. We must help the negotiation process.”
