ARMEN RUSTAMIAN: NOT ACCEPTING KARABAKH AS A NEGOTIATIONS PARTY,
AZERBAIJAN FACTUALLY AVOIDS PEACEFUL NEGOTIATIONS
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 23, NOYAN TAPAN. No complete negotiations go on
the Karabakh settlement today. Armen Rustamian, a representative of
the ARF Supreme Body of Armenia, the Chairman of the NA Standing
Committee on Foreing Relations, expressed such a confidence at the
September 22 press-conference. According to him, today meetings,
consultations take place, but no negotiations: "No real negotiations
can be spoken on as Nagorno Karabakh is not present at the
negotiations as a party." According to Rustamian, refusing to
recognize Nagorno Karabakh as a side, Azerbaijan, factually, avoids
peaceful negotiations, by this approving that it prefers the way of
war solution.
According to Armen Rustamian, Armenia can represent and protect
approaches of Karabakh in all those instances where the NKR hasn't
been represented yet because of its being unrecognized, but it may
never take the place of Karabakh. According to him, no document
concerning the problem settlement, adopted without the participation
of Karabakh may be legal. According to Rustamian, there are issues
which are just under commission of Nagorno Karabakh, and Armenia may
not reach agreements on those issues. The problem of territories is
particularly among them as today those are factually guarantees of
the security of the people of Karabakh, and today this people has no
other real guarantee of security.
According to Rustamian if Azerbaijan tries to replace the discussion
of the issue to the UN platform without the participation of Nagorno
Karabakh Armenia should not participate in that discussion.
According to him, it's impossible to solve all problems put on
negotiations at the same time that's why "the agreement must be
package and the solution phasal." "I won't be against such phasal
solution when the issue of the status of Karabakh is solved first,"
ARF SB representative stated.
