85519 - Transcription: The situation of crisis in Artsakh

N. Lygeros

This podcast is dedicated to Artsakh. And I mean with that name the region Nagorno-Karabakh. For Armenians of Artsakh there is no choice because we have to understand that it’s not a question of compromise.  They can’t live with Azeris in that place. I mean that even after the attack of Azerbaijan in Artsakh many Azeris just say that they can live in this territory. But in reality Azeris don’t want any Armenian in this territory. It’s just in fact words but not acts. So for the Armenian population there is no choice because they don’t want to live here because everything is controlled by Azeris and they know, not only now but also from the past what is the position and what is the mentation of the Azeris against them. For us is a big loss because we know this region, we went three times in Artsakh in 2007, 2008 and 2012. The idea was that we know many people there, we know that they are fighters but they are still alone and now we can see that it’s almost impossible for them to stay there. So we have to understand that if they are leaving right now it is because they prefer to be free even far away from their homes. But we have to keep in mind that history doesn’t change because of that, I mean this territory is an Armenian territory. So, it’s just a question of Time to return back after another counteroffensive.
