Artsakh is not Constrained to Inhabit its Areas with its Compatriots

The official Stepanakert reaction connected with the note of Azerbaijan mission in OSCE, slightly said, wasn’t accepted in Armenia. Particularly active Armenian society blamed the NKR authorities for extra prudentiality and timidity . To note, in response to Azerbaijani accusation, that the NKR forces keep on transmigrating the NKR areas, MFA of NKR announced that it’s a “baseless disinformation”, although he stated that it’s the sovereign right of NKR. Instantly in public discussions, particularly in social networks opinion was expressed, why the NKR authorities avoid to undertake, that, yes, they transmigrate. Although it’s comprehensible; in diplomacy few things are subject to public clarification, but however, Lurer.com spoke to spokesman to NKR President David Babayan, especially taking into account the fact that official contradictory announcements have been made from NKR; MFA denied, and NKR Prime Minister confirmed particularly in case of Syrian-Armenians readiness to host them.
David Babayan also stated, that NKR is a sovereign state and can manage its area as it wishes and carries out works all over its area (in connection with infrastructures, agricultural works and etc). “As for providing shelter to Syrian-Armenians we reconfirm our obligation to help our compatriots if they wish, and this isn’t an intentional policy, but a humanitarian step, national obligation.” He advised not to forget that Azerbaijan long ago inhabited areas of Shahumyan, Getashen and other northern areas, which as compared to NKR areas, didn’t undergo any observation by OSCE, as Azerbaijan persistently refuses to give permission. “And after this all Azerbaijan spreads a note: What’s this, if not a usual attempt for destabilization. Shouldn’t we have said that? And after all, NKR doesn’t have any international agreement not to inhabit its areas, and Azerbaijan with this note just keeps on its genocidal policy, this time trying to create obstacle for sufferers of humanitarian disaster Syrian-Armenians’ possible settlement in Artsakh.”
