YEREVAN, JUNE 27, NOYAN TAPAN. Khosrov Haroutiunian, the Chairman of
the Christian-Democratic Union, stated at the June 27 discussion at
the Hayeli (Mirror) club that "preservation of the status quo in the
settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict is very beneficial for us." At
the same time, he expressed anxiety that the international community
is influenced by the Azeri propaganda in the Nagorno Karabakh issue.
K. Haroutiunian also expressed anxiety that neighboring Azerbaijan
constantly violates quotas determined by the Agreement on Conventional
Armaments in Europe. However, in his words, none of Armenia's leaders
has ever tried to draw international community's attention to that
circumstance.
In the opinion of Alexander Iskandarian, the Director of the Caucasian
Media Institute, "indeed the arms race works on conservation of the
conflict and strengthening of stability in the region."
He mentioned that the propaganda carried on by states having undergone
territorial changes enjoys great support at such international forums
as the UN and the OSCE. In his words, international practice has
rather many examples of how non-recognized states can exist for many
decades. Among such states he named Taiwan, Kashmir, and the Republic
of North Cyprus.
