    GAGIK MINASYAN: DEAUVILLE STATEMENT IS ARMENIAN DIPLOMACY'S SUCCESS

    PanARMENIAN.Net - The member of a ruling Republican Party of Armenia
    (RPA) Gagik Minasyan believes the Deauville statement by OSCE MG
    co-chairs to be a success of the Armenian diplomacy. "If in past,
    the OSCE MG co-chairs addressed their urge for Karabakh conflict
    settlement to Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Deauville statement was
    addressed to conflicting parties. I believe this change to be of
    utmost importance," the parliamentarian said, noting that the statement
    crashes Azeri concept that there are two conflicting parties and not
    considering Karabakh in the issue.

    Mr. Minasyan characterized the presidents' statement that an attempt
    at a new war would be condemned by the international community as
    another important fact, as well as the urge "to prepare their people
    for peace, not war."

    The leaders of the United States, France and Russia called on Armenia
    and Azerbaijan to move toward a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict.

    "We...are convinced that it is time for the sides in the conflict over
    Nagorno-Karabakh to take a decisive step toward a peaceful resolution
    (of the conflict)," said a joint statement by Presidents Barack Obama,
    Nicolas Sarkozy and Dmitry Medvedev.

    "We firmly call on the leaders of the sides to prepare their people
    for peace, not war," the statement said. "We call on the presidents of
    Azerbaijan and Armenia to demonstrate political will and finalize...the
    basic principles (of a peace agreement) during the forthcoming summit
    in June."

    The Presidents of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan are slated to meet in
    June in the Russian city of Kazan, the next in a series of trilateral
    meetings on the conflict.
