Zhoghovurd: Prime minister of NKR doesn’t share Zori Balayan’s opinion
At the request of ‘Zhoghovurd’ paper, the Prime Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Ara Harutyunian commented on writer Zori Balayan’s letter to the Russian president, in which it is proposed to return to the Treaty of Gulistan, under which Karabakh was part of Russia. Ara Harutyinian said he did read the full text of the letter.
“But I can say one thing: no one has the right to speak on behalf of the people. He can only express his own opinion. Karabakh has already expressed its position. Karabakh gained independence in 1991, and any other opinion is a private one. We asserted our status through a referendum,” the NKR prime minister stressed.
