YEREVAN, OCTOBER 3, NOYAN TAPAN. The most important part of the
recent speech made by Levon Ter-Petrosian, the first President of
the Republic of Armenia, was not the mark given to the activities of
the current authorities, as it did not differ at all from the various
marks sounded up to now in that respect. This opinion was expressed
by Tigran Torosian, the Speaker of the RA National Assembly and the
Deputy Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia.
"It is quite another thing that the first RA President said that all
the problems set in front of Armenia are connected with the settlement
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, but he also said in a distinct way
that he cannot offer any solution with regard to this problem, that
is to say, it is the same situation as was in autumn 1997 or at the
beginning of 1998," Tigran Torosian said. According to him, this is
the most important extract of the speech of Levon Ter-Petrosian and
the most important statement of a question in terms of the problems
of Armenia.
The NA Speaker also stressed that "the ominous provisions that sounded
in 1998, according to which Armenia would appear in a blocade in
1-2 years all in all, economy would pull down, we would lose Nagorno
Karabakh, to name but a few," did not come true during these years in
connection with the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. In
the conviction of Tigran Torosian, in contrast to those provisions,
a qualitative difference has been recorded in the conflict settlement
process: the international community and the co-Chairmen of the
OSCE Minsk Group have mentioned for many times that the problem
will be regulated within the frameworks of not only the principle of
territorial completeness, but also the right of self-determination
of nations.
