NKR Defense Army guards not only NKR borders but also Armenia's eastern frontiers

PanARMENIAN.Net - To avoid false rumors about "surrender" of Karabakh, Armenia and NKR should admeasure roles and authority in resolution of the conflict with Azerbaijan, an expert said.



"The issues referring to the liberated territories should be in competence of the NKR authorities. Legally, all Karabakh territories, including the liberated ones, are under jurisdiction of NKR. The fact that these territories are controlled by Karabakh Armenians is fixed in UN resolutions adopted in 1993. As to the role of Armenia, these documents "call to observe the provisions of the UN Security Council resolutions." Furthermore, it would be advisable to seal an agreement on military cooperation between the two Armenian states, what would be a solution to a number of problems," former Deputy Foreign Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, independent expert Masis Mayilyan said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net



"Presently, the NKR Defense Army guards not only NKR borders but also Armenia's eastern frontiers, from the Mrav mountain ridge in the north to the Armenian-Iranian border in the south. The status of Republic of Armenia as a guarantor of Artsakh's independence and security should be fixed in international documents," he said.
