/PanARMENIAN.Net/ ARF Dashnaktsutyun estimates highly the activities
of the Armenian President for the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict, member of ARF Dashnaktsutyun, vice speaker of the RA National
Assembly Vahan Hovhannisian told reporters today.
However, he said, Nagorno Karabakh should join the talks. "We are told
that Azerbaijan's concession is peace. But "peace for peace" formula
doesn't reflect the reality, since mutual compromises should have a
different shape. Azerbaijan avoids this variant by all means. If Baku
doesn't want to hold talks with Stepanakert, Yerevan will negotiate
with Ankara but not with Baku. Unfortunately, Turkey is a member
of the OSCE Minsk Group on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
and influences on the process. Official Yerevan and Diaspora should
counteract this and urge to expel Turkey from the Minsk Group as an
interested party," Mr Hovhannisian said.
The decision to convene in Minsk an international conference on Nagorno
Karabakh was taken March 24, 1992 at the extraordinary sitting of the
Council of Ministers of the OSCE member states. Bulgaria, Germany,
Italy, Russia, U.S., Turkey, France, Czechia and Sweden formed the
Minsk contact group to settle the armed conflict between Azerbaijan
and Armenia.
Presently, the MG is chaired by Russia, U.S. and France.
Till 1997 Nagorno Karabakh was a full party in the talks. Now talks
are held between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
