"ARMAT" WORRIES ABOUT CURRENT SITUATION IN PROCESS OF SETTLEMENT OF
KARABAKH CONFLICT
YEREVAN, DECEMBER 1. ARMINFO. Center for democracy and civil society
development "Armat" is worried about the current situation in the
process of settlement of the Karabakh conflict. It should be noted
that the ideologists of the formerly ruling party of Armenia Armenian
National Movement, in particular, former speaker of armenian
parliament Babken Ararktsian, vice speaker of the parliament Ara
Sahakian and others are the founders and active participants of the
Center.
In the statement, spread by the Center, the authors said that the
process of peaceful settlement has moved to a decisive phase fraught
with irreversible consequences. As a result speculation by the problem
of settlement of incumbent authorities of Armenia from 1998 and still
the issue of self-determination of Nagorny Karabakh gradually changed
into a territorial argument between Armenia and Azerbaijan, and, as a
result of it, Nagorny Karabakh, declared as a party of conflict, lost
this status and turned from a subject into a object of the conflict,
becoming only a subject of territorial argument between Armenia and
Azerbaijan. The mission of the cochairmen of the OSCE Minsk Group has
been lead to a deadlock. Signing the Istanbul Charter President of
Armenia Robert Kocharian admitted that the basis of the settlement of
the Karabakh conflict is keeping the territorial integrity of
Azerbaijan, said in the statement.
>From the leader, in the plan of establishment of democracy and
conducting democratic reforms, Armenia has turned into an obstacle on
the way of regional development and integration, as a result of which
full political isolation has added to the economic blockade. Due to
the complementary foreign political course of Armenia Azerbaijan
succeeded to present a number of initiatives in international
organizations, which met resolutions unacceptable for Armenia and
Nagorny Karabakh.
The authors of the statement mention: "as a result of inactivity of
the present administration of Armenia Azerbaijan has achieved the
attack on the Armenian diplomacy, submitting to consideration of PACE
the report concerning the Karabakh problem and including in the agenda
of the 59th session of UN General Assembly the issue "on the situation
in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan". During the whole process
of peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict for the first Armenia
is accused of "occupation" of the territories of Azerbaijan. It
became clear from the discussions in UN that almost two months ago the
cochairmen of the OSCE Minks Group have presented a new plan for
settlement to Armenia and Azerbaijan. Even the existence of this plan
is kept in secret from the Armenian society. It gives basis to suppose
that this plan envisions unfavorable for the Armenian side terms of
settlement, experts of the Center Armat think.
The whole Armenian state system and existence of Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic is under the threat. Armenian people faced a threat of war
and unjustified losses. Only the removal of the incumbent
administration from the political arena and formation of a power,
which will enjoy the confidence of the people, may create a
possibility for way out of the situation, said in the statement of the
Center.
