LENMARKER'S POINT OF VIEW
Today head of the Armenian delegation to OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, NA
deputy speaker Vahan Hovhannisyan and member of the delegation Samvel
Nikoyan rendered a press conference and reported details about the OSCE PA
summer session in Washington on July 1-5.
OSCE PA President special representative of the NKG conflict Goran Lenmarker
had represented a report about the Karabakh conflict there. According to
Vahan Hovhannisyan, the report was balanced and had positive provisions for
the Armenian side, whereas for the Azeri side it caused much hubbub.
The report about Karabakh was prepared as a result of hard work in which the
NKR ex-national Assembly and ex-President Oleg Yesayan had their
contribution. A very important provision for the Armenian side has been
included in the report: they consider it unacceptable to relate the
cooperation with Armenia to the return of the security zone lands. The
report stresses cooperation without preconditions, for which the program
`Enlarged Europe - New Neighbors' gives a good possibility. According to the
NA deputy speaker, the report treats the Armenian-Azeri relations more than
the Karabakh conflict.
The second important fact is that in the report not only the positions of
Armenia and Azerbaijan have been mentioned but those of the third side -
Nagorno Karabakh Republic. Vahan Hovhannisyan brought the example of the
Azeri side offering to hold negotiations with Karabakh.
According to the document, the Caucasian region must not be divided into
small republics. Therefore, the most acceptable variant is to unite Karabakh
with Armenia one way or another. Nevertheless, the report stresses the
necessity to return the areas near Karabakh to Azerbaijan.
The head of the Armenian delegation underlined that the represented report
is the only official document about the conflict in the OSCE PA, and all the
other documents will be based on it.
