Mubariz Ahmedoghlu: "Armenians can lose in a referendum in Nagorno Karabakh, which they suggest to hold"

He considers that if theoretically we imagine that Azerbaijan agrees to hold a referendum, the results can be negative for Armenians, who offer them.

"Armenians consider that there are more Armenians than Azerbaijanis in Nagorno Karabakh. But a simple calculation shows that it is not like that. According to them, there are 137,000 Armenians in Nagorno Karabakh and jist 65,000-70,000.  They should realize that no one will allow them to hold a referendum with results to be defined by the 50%+1 vote principle. They adopt the law which says that the results of the referendum must be held by the 2/3 principle", said he.

Ahmedoghlu considers that in such a situation the results of the referendum can be in Azerbaijan's favor. He said of 137,000 of Nagorno Karabakh Armenians, 20,000 are Armenian servicemen.

"Moreover, of 137,000 we must also deduce 20.000 people, who come from former Shaomyan. In this case there are 90,000 Armenians who can not make 2/3 of majority against 70,000 Azerbaijanis", considers the political scientist.
