YEREVAN. – If international peacekeepers are deployed in Karabakh, they will despise the local authorities, MP candidate from Free Democrats party Stepan Safaryan told reporters on Wednesday.

He emphasized that if the peacekeepers are deployed we can only imagine what a position the Karabakh president will have as compared to the commander of the peacekeeping contingent.

“I have a negative attitude towards intentions to transfer Karabakh under the protectorate of another entity,” he said.
