President: Why should Artsakh's state institutions function in Armenia?
Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan claims the functioning of Artsakh's (Nagorno-Karabakh) state institutions in Armenia is inexpedient.
"Why should Artsakh's state institutions operate in Armenia? What functions are they supposed to perform?" Khachaturyan told reporters.
He insisted that Armenia’s government institutions protect the rights of displaced Artsakh Armenians.
When asked how Armenia promotes their return to their home, the president said the issue “is under discussion”.
Khachaturian stated that Nagorno-Karabakh was recognized as part of Azerbaijan back in 1991.
