Armenian political scientist: "Interests of Armenians, residing in Azerbaijan, must be represented by "Nagorno Karabakh"

"Nagorno Karabakh Republic" is responsible for Armenians, residing in Azerbaijan, and it must represent their interests in a number of issues, especially the negotiation process around the Karabakh problem, considers political scientist Alexander Manasyan, chief of the chair of theoretical philosophy and logics of the Yerevan State University.

He said the Nagorno Karabakh autonomous oblast was formed to represent interests of Armenian population in the Soviet Azerbaijan, therefore today Nagorno Karabakh is also responsible for Azerbaijani Armenians.

"No one, including the Armenians powers, are interested in the problems and further fate of Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, the issue of refugees can be used to press on Azerbaijan in the negotiation process on the Karabakh problem", added he.
