    RPA: SOCHI AGREEMENTS MORE ADVANTAGEOUS FOR ARMENIA THAN MADRID PRINCIPLES

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Member of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
    parliamentary group Gagik Minasyan said the Sochi agreements on the
    Karabakh conflict settlement are more advantageous for Armenia than
    the revised Madrid Principles.

    Minasyan noted that, judging from Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's
    reaction after trilateral meetings with participation of Russian
    President Dmitry Medvedev, specifically the meeting in Sochi, one can
    assume that the Co-Chairmen's proposals proceed in the direction,
    to which the Armenian side is adhered, and deviate from the stance
    supported by Azerbaijan.

    "Thus, one can state that the Sochi proposals are much more acceptable
    and practicable for the Armenian side than Azerbaijan," Minasyan
    said, adding that the Deaville statement adopted by the leaders of
    the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair countries makes a reference to the
    Sochi agreements, but not the Madrid Principles for the Karabakh
    conflict settlement.

    According to Minasyan, the events can develop by two scenarios: either
    Azerbaijan will continue its tough and destructive policy for solving
    the conflict by force, what will place it in a vulnerable position,
    or Azerbaijan will follow the calls and come closer to the principles
    fixed in Sochi. And these principles are more advantageous for us,
    than the Madrid Principles, said Minasyan.

    Minasyan also commented on the statement of leader of the opposition
    Armenian National Congress Levon Ter-Petrossian that the Armenian
    side is exhausting the resources for keeping the status-quo in the
    Karabakh conflict. "Ter-Petrossian made similar statements many years
    ago as well," he said.

    Armenian, Russian and Azerbaijani Presidents - Serzh Sargsyan, Dmitry
    Medvedev and Ilham Aliyev - adopted a joint statement on the Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict settlement based on the results of their negotiations
    in Sochi. The document reads that the Presidents considered matters
    of practical implementation of the trilateral statement adopted during
    the October 27, 2010, meeting in Astrakhan.

    Specifically, the Presidents agreed to finalize the swap of POWs as
    soon as possible. The document stresses the parties' willingness "to
    solve all disputable matters peacefully and conduct investigation of
    possible incidents along the ceasefire line under the auspices of the
    OSCE Minsk Group through the assistance of Personal Representative of
    the OSCE Chairman-in-Office." "The Presidents stressed the importance
    of their regular contacts on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
    and agreed to continue them in such format in addition to the activity
    of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen," the statement reads.
