 GIVING BACK THE TERRITORIES, WE SHALL OPEN FOR THE ENEMY A DIRECT WAY TO STEPANAKERT, "IN DEFENSE OF NKR" ORGANIZATIONAL COMMITTEE BELIEVESMay 17, 2001 - 20:54 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - YEREVAN, May 17. /Mediamax/. Armenia's main problem in Karabakh negotiations is the possibility of giving back the liberated territories, leader of Democratic party of Armenia Aram Sarkisian said today in Yerevan, speaking at a round-table organized by the "In defense of Nagorno Karabakh Republic" organizational committee and "In defense of liberated territories" public initiative. According to Aram Sarkisian, in case if the territories are returned, Nagorno Karabakh will become entirely "bared", as the established security zone is the only guarantee of NKR's security. Giving back the territories, Sarkisian says, "we shall open for the enemy a direct way to Stepanakert". --0--   Top stories The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire.
