    PACKAGE SETTLEMENT STEP BY STEP

    During today's press conference dedicated to the sitting of the PACE
    Subcommittee on Nagorno Karabakh Shavarsh Kocharyan noted that certain
    progress is observed in the settlement process.

    In part, the model proposed during the discussions can be rated as positive
    since it says that the issue can be resolved by the OSCE Minsk Group only.
    Besides, the MG Co-Chairs and other rapporteurs were impartial enough in
    their assessments. They noted that the conflict cannot be settled at
    present, since one of the parties follows the principle of territorial
    integrity and the other - the principle of self-determination.

    According to Shavarsh Kocharyan, it was also noted that Karabakh cannot be
    an enclave and should be connected with Armenia. When the Azeri party
    reminded about Nakhichevan the Armenian delegates stressed that Armenia was
    always offered to restore the railway communication and provide connection
    with Azerbaijan.

    When commenting on the statement by Andrzej Kasprzyk, who pointed out to the
    necessity of forces at the contact lines, the Armenian deputy said it
    maintains some danger, since it can be rated as a package settlement.
    According to it, territories are retuned first and then a referendum is held
    after an uncertain period.

    `This would be a perfect variant if we had to deal with democratic
    Azerbaijan', the Armenian delegates said reminding of the constant military
    statements by official Baku, doubled military expenses as well as the call
    of the Azeri Ombudsman to take a pattern by murderer Ramil Safarov.

    To note, representatives of the Council of Europe stated that Azerbaijan
    will be expelled from the organization in case it wishes to settle the issue
    by force. In response Shavarsh Kocharyan said, `When Turkey occupied the
    territory of Cyprus, which was the CoE member, it was not expelled.'
    According to him we should not lose time since every lost day jeopardizes
    our national interests.
