If Karabakh is in danger, Armenia will fight for every inch of land, Armenia's Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan, told journalists today when commenting on possibility of territorial cession for settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
He said that they have been negotiating to create conditions for the common ground for resolving of the Karabakh conflict. As for Nikolay Ryzhkov's commentary about an uncertain status of Karabakh, Ohanyan declined to comment on it and said: "Ryzhkov said that he wishes these territories to be Armenian".
To note, in response to a reporter's question why Russia can enter the EEU together with Crimea, and Armenia cannot do the same with Karabakh, Ryzhkov answered: "You try to compare Crimea with Karabakh. I understand that Karabakh is a painful topic for Armenia, for us - as well, but in case of Crimea let me not agree with you. Crimea is historically a Russian land, for centuries we were one territory, and we have no fault in the fact that Khrushchev was drunk when he handed it to Ukraine."
