Baku/01.03.19/Turan: Artur Vanetsyan, the Director of the National Security Service of Armenia, visited Nagorno-Karabakh and, together with the leader of the separatist regime Bako Sahakyan, visited the southern sector of the front.
While in Karabakh, Vanetsyan stated that the allegations of the land surrender to Azerbaijan are speculations. According to the Armenian media, the purpose of the visit was to discuss issues of settling the territory along the bank of the Araks River.
"In particular, it is planned to build the settlement of Araksavan (south of Hadrut), to develop agriculture and create infrastructures here. According to Vanetsyan, the settlement of the territory is one of the main security guarantees.
Statements of individuals that, they say, the land will be handed over, they will negotiate on this subject, are refuted by this settlement program. We thereby send a clear message to the Armenian people and the world that no one will surrender land. On the contrary, our compatriots should live in our territories, live and create," Vanetsyan quotes "Sputnik Armenia".
It should be noted that this is already the second sensational statement in recent days after the words of Armenian Defense Minister David Tonoyan that Armenia is moving from defensive tactics to offensive.
Thus, the official Yerevan makes it clear that hopes for a peaceful settlement, in which the areas around Karabakh will be returned to Azerbaijan, have failed. -02D-
