    The Armenian armed forces are the most fully realized structure in the
    republic, and that provides additional assuredness for its political
    leadership and enables them to have a good position at the talks on
    karabakhj settlement, said Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan at a
    work meeting at the defense ministry.

    According to an online poll done by the Research center for political
    developments, 61.3% of the participants spoke against the Madrid
    principles of the Karabakh settlement, calling them unacceptable for
    Armenia and Karabakh. 24.3% think the Madrid principles are acceptable,
    the remaining participants could not say either way.

    The participants are bothered in part by the priniples' vague
    language. Most of them are concerned with the issues of peacekeeping
    forces, and the security of the border populations in Armenia.

    The U.S. and Russia have plans to replace their representatives in the
    OSCE Minsk group to settle the Karabakh conflict in autumn. Commenting
    on the appointment of the new representatives, member of the National
    Assembly Stepan Safaryan noted the Karabakh settlement was in a state
    of stagnation, and the publication of the Madrid principles was the
    first attempt to overcome it.
