Opinion: The seven liberated territories will be returned to Azerbaijan under Kazan document (video)
The Kazan document is dangerous for Armenia and Artsakh. Under the document, the seven liberated territories will be returned to Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani refugees will settle in those territories. Besides, Nagorno Karabakh will be given an unclear status; Karabakh will have no right to have its armed forces, ethnographer Hranush Kharatyan said on July 1. “If an agreement is reached over this document we shall lose all hopes that Nagorno Karabakh will ever be granted a status and be populated with ethnic Armenians,” she said. Larisa Alaverdyan, Chairwoman of the Against Violation of Law NGO, says the tacit adoption of the Kazan document by Armenia and the international community makes them accomplices in the crimes committed by Azerbaijan. “I cannot and shall not blame the international community for anything because it was to have been informed of the problem. Armenia should have prevented Artsakh’s withdrawal from the talks,” she said. Larisa Alaverdyan says Armenia should have refused to sit at the same negotiating table with Azerbaijan after Artsakh was pushed out of the talks.
