/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "According to the data the Azg newspaper possesses,
it is not ruled out that Armenia and Azerbaijan may sign a
transitional agreement over Nagorno Karabakh, in compliance with
which the Karabakh forces will be withdrawn from some territories
under their control, while in exchange Nagorno Karabakh will be
conveyed for temporary governance of Armenia under the condition that
in 5 or 10 years a referendum on the Nagorno Karabakh status is
held," Tatul Hakobian writes in the Azg newspaper first issue this
year. It should be reminded that a meeting of Armenian and Azeri
Foreign Ministers will take place in Prague today. Before leaving for
Prague yesterday Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian stated
that "this year's talks will qualitatively differ from the first
phase of the Prague meetings. We will discuss some details now."
"Azg" also reminds of the December article in Le Figaro, which
suggested approximately the same settlement option signed by the NATO
Parliamentary Assembly Chairman. The newspaper also takes note of the
lately observed trend of resolution of conflict issues via referendums.
Thereupon the Azg article author reminds of the agreement over
resolution of the conflict in Sudan, as well as in Cyprus and the
possible repetition of the referendum scenario in Kosovo.
