    DISCUSSIONS ON TOPIC "DIPLOMACY FOR SETTLEMENT OF KARABAKH CONFLICT
    AND THE PROBLEM OF STATE CONSTRUCTION OF ARMENIA AND NAGORNY KARABAKH"
    AT HOTEL YEREVAN


    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 1. ARMINFO. The current format of negotiations for
    settlement of Karabakh conflict has not exhausted yet, it does not
    allow maneuvers either, say the participants of discussions on the
    topic "Diplomacy for settlement of Karabakh conflict and the problem
    of state construction of Armenia and Nagorny Karabakh" held at the
    Hotel Yerevan, Tuesday.

    Leader of the National-Democratic Union, MP Vazgen Manukyan,
    representing the opposition bloc Justice, says that <starting from the
    moment of cease-fire in 1994, the Armenian party has suffered
    uninterrupted losses in the process of settlement. In particular, if
    the public was gathered around the Karabakh problem then, at present
    it is ousted from the settlement-process, if the Karabakh conflict was
    part of international geo-political processes then, now it is outside
    them. The philosophic approaches to the problem have changed. And what
    is the most important, if 10 years ago Nagorny Karabakh was a subject
    of the negotiations, now, it has become their object. >

    In his turn, Leader of the Union Self-Determination party Papuyr
    Hairikyan says that ten years ago the whole native public was united
    around the Karabakh problem, today, the negotiation process is a
    prerogative of several people protecting the interests of groups and
    not the national ones. The National Security Council does not
    function; the relations between Armenia and Nagorny Karabakh are not
    regulated. In these conditions, the role of independent experts
    increases, they can create mechanisms of control over state structures
    <which got out of national control long ago. > NKR Presidential
    Adviser for Foreign Political Affairs Georgiy Petrosyan is sure that
    solution is in establishment and triumph of democratic principles,
    transparency and honesty of the policy, including foreign
    policy. Leader of the Union of Socialist Forces of Armenia Ashot
    Manucharyanm in his turn, asks whether the OSCE Minsk Group aims
    contribution to the settlement process or it is just an instrument for
    containment of negative processes in the South Caucasus.

    Head of the NKR Press Club Gegham Baghdasaryan makes rather harsh
    statements, in particular, saying that Karabakh must become an active
    part of the negotiations, the NKR authorities must be maximum active
    in the process, but the present Administration of Stepanakert is
    unable to do it, as <there are words only, and there are no acts. >
    The meeting-participants decided to continue the discussions in future
    as well. Their next meeting may take place in Karabakh. - M-
