ArmInfo.Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in an interview with the Voice of America gave some explanations about his resonant statement about the return of the territories around Artsakh within the framework of the Karabakh settlement.
The minister, in particular, assured that his statement in the media was presented fragmentary, torn from the context. "In general, I spoke about the three principles and six elements of the Karabakh conflict settlement, which are presented in the statements of the heads of the OSCE Minsk Group member states, which are developed and presented as a single whole by these same countries. In this regard, attempts to separate these principles and elements from each other will make the settlement process impossible, this is exactly what Azerbaijan has done for years, "Nalbandian said, quoting President Serzh Sargsyan from the rostrum of the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly that the main issue negotiations is the status of Nagorno- Karabakh.
"As the president said, if the issue of the status of Nagorno Karabakh is resolved, all other issues will find their fair and logical solution, since all other issues are derived from the issue of the status of the NKR," the minister said, stressing again that resolution of all issues is possible only with the participation of Nagorno- Karabakh in the negotiations.
Nalbandian also said that on September 23 he will meet with Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar Mammadyarov, during which the schedule of the visit of the Minsk mediators to the region and the issues of organizing a possible meeting of the two heads of state will be discussed. It should be noted that at the 6th forum of Armenia-Diaspora, Nalbandian stated that within the framework of the Karabakh settlement, those territories will be handed over, in the transfer of which there will not be a threat to the security of Artsakh. This caused a public outcry. The spokesman for the head of Artsakh David Babayan, in a conversation with the correspondent of ArmInfo, in particular, stated that all the territories around Artsakh are important in terms of ensuring its security. And the vice-speaker of the Artsakh parliament Bagram Balyan stated that the borders of Artsakh are fixed by the republic's constitution and can not be changed.
ArmInfo.On the margins of the 72nd session of UN General Assembly, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian held a number of bilateral meetings.

Kocharyan admitted that the resonance caused by this statement of Nalbandian is not clear for him. "Nalbandian did not say anything new, he voiced the previously voiced proposals of the Minsk mediators.
ArmInfo. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, speaking at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly, expressed gratitude to all those countries that recognized the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Turkey.
ArmInfo. Nobody gives any territories to anyone. And, in this light, for me personally fussing and the noise raised around the statement of Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian is unclear. This was stated by Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan on September 19, answering the question of one of the participants of the "Armenia-Diaspora-2017" forum.
ArmInfo. It is impossible to give Artsakh, it is possible only to lose it as a result of war. To lose together with Syunik. Director of Ashkharh(Stepanakert) Strategic Researches Center, expert on military and national security issues Hrachya Arzumanyan expressed such an opinion to ArmInfo, commenting Edward Nalbandian's statement.
ArmInfo. All the territories around Artsakh are important in terms of ensuring its security, a return to the past in terms of borders and no status. This was the reaction of the press secretary of the NKR President Bako Sahakyan David Babayan to yesterday's statement of Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian that within the framework of the Karabakh settlement those territories will be returned, the refusal of which will not jeopardize the security of Nagorno- Karabakh.
