ISSUE OF "OCCUPIED REGIONS" SHOULD BE SETTLED BY KARABAKH AND AZERBAIJAN, ARMENIAN FM CONSIDERS

PanARMENIAN.Net - An incorrect notion about the relations between Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan and Armenia is available in Turkey, Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian stated in an interview with Zaman Turkish newspaper. "The most important thing in this issue is that the Armenians of Karabakh struggle for their independence. They do not wish to be citizens of Azerbaijan and be its part," he said. Touching upon the issue of Turkey's mediation, V. Oskanian reported that Armenia cannot agree to it, as being Azerbaijan's ally official Ankara supports that country everywhere and in anything. He reminded that Nagorno Karabakh has always been an Armenian territory. "As of the "occupied regions", the issue should be settled by Karabakh and Azerbaijan," the head of the Armenian Foreign Ministry said.
