KARABAKH ALONE CANNOT RESETTLE LACHIN

Lragir, Armenia

Nobody knows the exact number of people living in Lachin, says Arman Melikyan, adviser to the NKR president, former NKR minister of foreign affairs. He thinks that the reason for this uncertainty is the constant migration to Armenia and back. Arman Melikyan says this is very bad because there must be a permanent population in Lachin, but Karabakh is unable to resolve this problem alone, says the adviser to the NKR president.

"We must realize that Karabakh alone cannot provide conditions for the fast resettlement and prosperity of this territory. This is the problem of both Armenia and the Diaspora, and also the problem of our potential allies, who must be interested in having the Armenians live there," says Arman Melikyan.
