    "BECAUSE OF THE INCOMPETENT DIPLOMACY OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA, THE NAGORNO-KARABAKH CONFLICT BEGAN TO BE PERCEIVED AS A TERRITORIAL DISPUTE," L. ZURABYAN SAYS

    May 31 2013

    Today Andres Herkel, the chairman of the PACE Monitoring Committee,
    asked Eduard Nalbandyan, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the
    Republic of Armenia, during the meeting of the PACE Standing Committee,
    which was held within the framework of Armenia's presidency in the
    Committee of Ministers, whether the Republic of Armenia was ready to
    make concessions in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    www.aravot.am inquired during a conversation with Levon Zurabyan, a
    member of the Armenian delegation to the PACE, whether the fact that
    the PACE delegates raised the issue of Armenia's making concessions
    in the Nagorno-Karabakh issue was the result of an error made in
    Armenia's foreign policy, or there was a different problem. Mr.

    Zurabyan replied: "I wouldn't think that this was some specific
    mistake made by the Armenian side. It is just that since the Republic
    of Armenia has taken over the presidency of the PACE Committee of
    Ministers, this is an opportunity for the members of the Standing
    Committee to ask the Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs what
    concessions the Republic of Armenia is ready to make." L. Zurabyan
    thinks the problem is in a different domain and goes into detail:
    "Because of the incompetent diplomacy of the Republic of Armenia since
    1998, the perception of the conflict's format by the international
    community has evolved. Before that, the conflict had been perceived as
    a conflict between the right of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) to
    self-determination and Azerbaijan's longing for territorial integrity,
    whereas after the Republic of Armenia agreed to change the format of
    negotiations, putting aside the fact that the NKR had been recognized
    by the OSCE as a negotiating and conflicting party, the perception of
    the conflict's format by the international community has changed. It
    began to be perceived as a territorial dispute between the Republic
    of Armenia and Azerbaijan. This was the main strategic mistake that
    the government of the Republic of Armenia made after 1998; we are
    suffering from its consequences now." Tatev HARUTYUNYAN
