    Taking into consideration the absence of any formal information board
    member of the Armenian National Movement Vahagn Hovhannisyan gives
    the following assessment to the current stage of the Karabakh conflict.

    During recent 7 years no progress was fixed in the Karabakh conflict
    settlement process. The incumbent leadership of Armenia and Azerbaija
    are protracting the settlement in order to hold the power.

    -In you opinion what are the Presidents of both states doing during
    their meetings?

    -They are just trying to show they are not inactive.

    -Do you think they succeed? Don~Rt the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs
    notice anything?

    -One should not anchor big hopes with the Co-Chairs. They all have
    different positions on the Karabakh issue.

    -Rumors over the Karabakh conflict have become greater lately. How
    do you explain that?

    -The Co-Chairs themselves said that no document is ready yet. As
    a matter of fact there is nobody now involved in the settlement
    process. The conflict will be resolved only in case the Armenian and
    Azerbaijani authorities are legal. Presently the Presidents of both
    states are concerned over their own problems.

    -Does it means that you bound the Karabakh settlement with Armenia
    and Azerbaijan only? Doesn~Rt Karabakh have any role in this process?

    -Since 1988, thanks to the incumbent, any role of Karabakh in the
    process has been excluded. Levon Ter-Petrosyan once said that he will
    signed the document only in case Karabakh approves it. The policy of
    the incumbent leadership is quite opposite. Today Karabakh is a mere
    observer. However it should be engaged the negotiations.
