    PACE RESOLUTION ON NAGORNY KARABAKH REFLECTS PROCESSES INSIDE OSCE
    MINSK GROUP: ARMENIAN OPPOSITION MP


    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1. ARMINFO. The PACE resolution on Nagorny Karabakh
    is an unprecedented document in terms of Armenia's having been
    recognized as a direct party to the Karabakh conflict and an occupant,
    says Shavarsh Kocharyan, Armenian delegate to PACE from the Justice
    opposition bloc.

    No international document except for the resolutions by the
    Organization of the Islamic Conference has ever recognized Armenia as
    a direct party to the Karabakh conflict. The appointment of a new PACE
    rapporteur on Nagorny Karabakh will not change the situation. The new
    rapporteur will follow the logic of the PACE resolution.

    Shavarsh Kocharyan calls a lie the statements that the resolution will
    not affect the OSCE MG peace process. On the contrary the resolution
    reflects the processes inside the MG and this unfavorable atmosphere
    is the result of Armenia's ineffective foreign policy.

    Shavarsh Kocharyan says that during the resolution discussion the
    initiatives of the Azeri delegates were strongly supported by their
    Turkish colleagues while the Armenian delegation could hardly expect
    the same from any other foreign counterparts. Even Armenia's
    strategical partner Russia was not supportive. For example at PACE
    the Russian delegates were first neutral but when it turned out that
    the proposals of Armenian MPs were passing some of them began voting
    in favor of Azerbaijan.

    If Armenia wants European support it should effect democratic
    reforms. No coincidence that before 1995 when Armenia held free and
    democratic elections the international community sympathized with i
    but the situation changed after the electoral fraud of 1996. Of course
    Azerbaijan is not a democratic state either but in Azerbaijan there is
    oil, says Shavarsh Kocharyan adding that Pres.Aliev is much liked in
    the world and the international community is ready to support him
    everywhere even in the Karabakh issue just to reinforce his positions
    in Azerbaijan and to launch democratic reforms there.
