YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 5, NOYAN TAPAN. A deadlock situation has been formed
in the process of Nagorno Karabakh settlement, and the Armenian side
has lost all its former trumps and at present it has less possibilities
to dictate conditions than several years ago. Political scientist
Aghasi Yenokian expressed such an opinion at the September 5 dispute
with Armen Ashotian, a member of the Board of the Republican Party
of Armenia (RPA). According to him, the main reason of Armenia's
having no progress in the issue of settlement is vain negotiations
discussions of "symbols," in particular, discussions about the NKR
status. In A. Yenokian's words, it will be more correct not to look
for documental solutions of that issue and not to touch upon it in
the future.
And at present, as he affirmed, we should be seriously engaged in
Artsakh's demographic problems, as in the past two decades the number
of population of NKR and its liberated territories "has decreased
by nearly 70% and "a large emigration of Karabakh people is also
noticed today."
According to A. Ashotian, outwardly there is indeed no progress in
the Nagorno Karabakh problem. However, according to him, in case of
deeper observations it becomes clear that "the issue has no chance
of being solved individually: it is doomed to be considered in the
context of superpowers' policy." A. Ashotian added that NKR has
been already de facto recognized as an individual state unit and
the issue of the status should be solved first of all for abroad. As
the RPA representative esatimated, gradually it is becoming obvious
that the Nagorno Karabakh problem is not connected with Azerbaijan's
territorial integrity, and now time works in favor of Artsakh.
