The issue of returning five regions exists. If anyone says, it does not, s/he just boggles, said Ara Papian, the head of Modus Vivendi Center, on July 16 during a discussion in Artsakh .

" The President gave his consent to the Kazan document. It is a principal issue. Is the Bishkek principle "lands for status "  acceptable for us?    For me it is not acceptable, since cession will give no results. If we concede , then we will concede again and again, which is at odds with today's official viewpoint.” The people with whom we contact are all against yielding the territories. However, society should be allowed to express their viewpoints, " he said.

In her turn, Margarita Karamyan, the participant of the Karabakh war and the  Karabakh movement, noted that today it is necessary to raise the issue of violation of the state borders . "We have a state , and state boundaries fixed by our constitution. During the April war, Baku applied a new aggression against Artsakh, due to which our borders, enshrined in our Constitution, were breached. As a result we have lost some of our residence and had many casualties.”

According to her , today we need to discuss not about yielding or not yielding lands, but we should raise a question who is responsible for that . "The military and political authorities should take a responsibly for the breach of the boundaries. We must call them to account for evacuation in Talish. "
