    LEVON MKRTCHYAN - "DANGEROUS DEVELOPMENTS IN FAVOR OF AZERBAIJAN"

    During the 59th full session of UNO General Assembly in December the issue
    on "Situation in 7 occupied territories of Azerbaijan" will be discussed.
    Under various appraisals, it's the failure of Armenian diplomacy. What does
    Levon Lazarian, head of ARF Party of Coalition think about this?
    -It's a dangerous development. Azerbaijan really tries to move the issue
    from the professional structures to parliamentary or international ones,
    where professionalism is lacking, and in fact, it gives a chance to make
    decisions upon emotions. The factor of Islamic states can't be excluded
    here, either. And this will make the issue of another quality, Azerbaijani
    part thinks. They try to collect the issue by segments. But we and the
    professional structures - OSCE, Minsk Group etc must resist it. The
    structures noticed that the way leads to nothing, moreover, it resulted in
    the conflict exacerbation, and they tried to pass on to the professional
    manner of settlement, which justified itself - there is peace for some
    years. Those structures must assess return of the issue to UNO format as
    negative.
    -Mr. Lazarian, during the time of the former Authorities the process of
    Karabakhi conflict settlement was moved to OSCE from UNO format. At the
    times of the ex Authorities Karabakh was a full negotiating part. USA Senate
    907 Resolution on Freedom Support was valid in the times of former
    Authorities. Don't you think that regress is fixed over all the cited
    directions?
    - I wouldn't say so because the conflict is full and the history of it doesn't
    accept the conceptions like "former and present Authorities". The conflict
    itself has complications, and the settlement of it depends on
    resourcefulness of resisting those complications. The present Authorities
    inherited the unsolved conflict, and in a defeatist strategy in fact.
    Authorities dragged out the process, essentially looking for solutions and
    that policy justified itself partly. For instance, Key West was s success.
    In fact, it was joining of Nagorno Karabakh to Republic of Armenia as the
    radical settlement to the problem. Now all the approaches alike consist of
    more positive solutions than before.
    -By the appraisals of some analysts and the representatives of ex
    Authorities, now there is a danger of losing Karabakh even. Do you agree to
    it?
    Such kind of appraisals made by the former Authorities are based upon the
    present political situation in Armenia. They have the task of power change
    and delivering a blow to the power. I want to say that during 15 years
    serious diplomatic activity was spread. The activity resulted in both
    successes and failures. If looking at the aspect of conflictology, Armenian
    people are in an advantageous position now.
