According to the Aparazh Newspaper, the ARF Dashnaktsutyun-Movement 88
faction of the NKR parliament proposed holding parliamentary hearings
on the problem of Karabakh in the upcoming months. It is also proposed
to invite the representatives of the foreign ministries of Armenia and
NKR, the political parties of NKR, as well as political experts.
`On the basis of the results of the hearings the National Assembly of
NKR should pass a resolution on the settlement of the Karabakh issue,
as well as to recommend the National Assembly of Armenia to finally
define the relations between NKR and Armenia,' holds the proposal.
The reporter of the newspaper asked the head of the Democracy faction
and the chair of the NKR National Assembly Committee of Foreign
Relations Vahram Atanesyan to comment on the proposal.
`The factions Democracy and Hayrenik need to discuss the proposal of
the ARF Dashnaktsutyun-Movement 88 faction, and if a uniform opinion is
shaped, the hearings should be held in May, we will hold them in May,'
Vahram Atanesyan said.
With regard to the current situation, the member of parliament said it
is necessary to take into account the passage of the UN GA resolution
`on the situation in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan', as well
as the so-called Madrid principles of settlement.
`In Karabakh nobody has officially agreed to settlement of the issue
through the principles of Madrid, since those principles involve
elimination of the consequences of the military phase of the conflict
rather than resolution of the problem of status of Karabakh which is
the axis of the conflict,' Vahram Atanesyan said.
`Now Azerbaijan is using every means to reject the principles of
Madrid. Namely, the one which involves holding a plebiscite on the
status of Karabakh. Step by step the stance of Azerbaijan is becoming
tougher. It wants to have more and more countries and organizations to
state about the necessity to solve the problem in the framework of the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. In this situation, it is pointless
to talk about negotiations,' the member of parliament underlined,
relating this to the pre-election period in the neighboring state.
`I think the parliament of NKR should present a definitive stance on
the settlement no earlier than the end of 2008 when the election
process will have ended in Azerbaijan. I think for the time being it is
logical to hold hearings once again, maybe on the level of an extended
meeting of the Committee of Foreign Relations but not parliamentary
hearings because it is the highest level of expression of the official
stance,' said the member of parliament.
