“Azerbaijanis are leaving us behind and we are not so strong as they are.”
The Nagorno Karabakh community is concerned with possible surrender of the “liberated” lands, the Zhamanak newspaper reads. According to the newspaper, “NKR” suspects that Serzh Sargsyan is preparing to surrender the “liberated” lands.
According to sources of the newspaper, the Karabakh population is torn apart with disappointment and extremist sentiments. The disappointed people have started to quit Karabakh.
Meanwhile, the “NKR” powers have started to give interviews saying they fully trust Serzh Sargsyan. Meanwhile, the same Karabakhi officials curse Sargsyan in a closer surrounding.
The newspaper reports with reference to reliable sources that the so-called “NKR President” Bako Saakyan ,met with general Manwel Sargsyan, Serzh Sargsyan with Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan and Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan with the high military command of “NKR” earlier. Meanwhile, the meetings were not so pleasant for Serzh Sargsyan. During his recent visit to karabakh, Sargsyan promised to the “NKR” authorities and the high military command that he would do everything possible to bring Karabakh back to the negotiation table and said nothing about the return of lands. Yet before the New Year, Commandos Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan came to Karabakh and discussed the issue of the liberated lands with officers, according to Zhamanak.
According to sources, this caused resentment among the officers who reminded that Sargsyan promised a different thing. Being caught in an awkward state, Commandos returned to Yerevan. Sargsyan-Commandos and Sargsyan-Manwel Grigoryan meetings were held on this background. During the meetings Sargsyan told both generals: “I will not accept these adventures, war is an alternative to nonsurrender of lands, Azerbaijanis are leaving us behind and we are not so strong as they are”, and so on. Moreover, Sargsyan started blackmailing generals saying they have allegedly left him alone in the Karabakh issue and despite they say that “the lands should not be surrendered”, they do not want to launch war.
For the first time, Sargsyan did not reject his preparations to surrender the lands and used the language of blackmail. It seems that these statements by Sargsyan have forced the “NKR” defense minister to convene the field commanders and order them to state their preparations for war in every conversation, the newspaper concludes.
