Zaruhi Postanjyan: liberated territories around Karabakh guarantee our security
The liberated territories around NKR guarantee the security our homeland and their surrender is inadmissible, said Zaruhi Postanjyan, member of Heritage parliamentary group.
"Madrid Principles are unacceptable if they contain a provision envisaging surrender of liberated territories. Armenia should recognize independence of NKR and act as the guarantor of its security only," she told reporters today.
For his part, Heritage party spokesman Hovsep Khurshudyan said that although Arstakh leaders trust RA President Serzh Sargsyan, it doesn't empower Armenia to determine the fate of the liberated lands.
He also said that is response to an official inquiry to the NKR parliament about recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic's independence by Armenia, the party was told that "as a sovereign country, Armenia itself decides on its foreign policy priorities."
