    ARMEN RUSTAMYAN: "THERE MAY BE NO TALKS WITHOUT NAGORNO KARABAKH'S
    DIRECT PARTICIPATION"



    DEFACTO NEWS SERVICE - 09/23/05: "The talks are not conducted at
    present, as there may be no talks without an immediate participant of
    the conflict - Nagorno Karabakh", stated Chairman of the Parliamentary
    Commission for Foreign Issues Armen Rustamyan in the course of the
    press conference on September 22.

    According to Armen Rustamyan, if Azerbaijan broaches the Karabakh
    issue at the UN without participation of the NK representatives
    Armenia will not participate in the discussions. He stressed Armenia
    was the guarantor of Nagorno Karabakh independence and security. In
    his opinion, the talks should be conducted on the settlement of
    Nagorno Karabakh, and not "Armenian - Azeri" conflict with
    participation of the three conflict sides.

    A member of ARFD faction touched upon the issue referring to adoption
    of the two resolutions on the Armenian Genocide by the US Congress
    House of Representatives Committee on International Relations. In the
    parliamentarian's opinion it will play an important role in the
    international recognition of the Genocide.

    Armen Rustamyan noted the Turkish society was not ready to recognize
    the Genocide. The reason is the Turkish authorities' inactivity. In
    his words, the agreement with Turkey on recognition of the Genocide
    should be package, while the realization phased. A member of ARFD
    faction thinks there are two options of the problem solution:
    recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey and opening of the
    border; establishment of relations with Armenia and international
    recognition of the Genocide.

    In Armen Rustamyan's words, the issue referring to recognition of the
    Armenian Genocide has not only moral and historic, but also the
    political aspect. "Recognition of the Armenian Genocide should become
    the matter of all the countries, and the issue is not subject to
    bargaining", emphasized he. Armenian parliamentarian added there
    should be no closed borders between Armenia and Turkey. "Unless Turkey
    recognizes the fact of the Genocide there are no guarantees that the
    history will not be repeated", said Armen Rustamyan.
