Armen Sarkisian, the only member of the Nagorno-Karabakh parliament who is affiliated with Dashnaktsutyun, made the appeal to officials of the unrecognized republic last week.
Sarkisian said during a parliament session in Stepanakert that "those who call into question our territorial integrity under the guise of mutual concessions” of settlement with Azerbaijan must be prosecuted, because such comments would be not a "manifestation of democracy or pluralism but an unconstitutional step."
His demand is thought to reflect the opinion of Dashnaktsutyun's branch in Nagorno-Karabakh and has been welcomed by the party in Armenia.
The return of virtually all Armenian-occupied territories surrounding the disputed enclave of Karabakh is a key element in international mediators' current plans to resolve the dispute over the territory.

More must be done to tackle global ?crisis? of road traffic deaths, says Ban
With traffic accidents causing the deaths of more than one million people every year, more than malaria or diabetes, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has urged greater efforts to better protect the millions upon millions who travel the world?s roads every day.
Armenia and its Karabakh-born president, Serzh Sarkisian, have reportedly signaled a general acceptance of this formula. The Nagorno-Karabakh leadership, on the other hand, makes no secret of its disagreement with such a compromise.
