    EVERYONE WILL SOON FORGET ABOUT KARABAKH CONSTITUTION

    Lragir, Armenia
    Dec 19 2006

    Necessity for a constitution arose in Karabakh because over these
    years the people of Karabakh have established a legal and institutional
    sphere which needed to be concluded by a constitution.

    Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan expressed this opinion in
    a news conference on December 19 at the Friday Club. He stated that
    the reaction of the international organizations to the referendum is
    unacceptable. According to the minister, it was not so surprising
    that they reject the referendum, but it was surprising that these
    statements were so hard. However, comments by the same officials of
    European organizations came right away to correct the statements.

    Vardan Oskanyan says he believes that the Constitution will not have
    a negative impact on the settlement of the conflict over Karabakh.

    "It is a period when the referendum has just been held, and there
    were statements, comments, opinions are expressed, but soon, I think,
    the question will be accepted as a fact, and we will move on. In the
    long run, the stronger the legal, institutional and economic basis of
    Nagorno Karabakh is, the more useful it will be for the settlement,"
    Vardan Oskanyan says.

    He also says that unlike the presidential and parliamentary elections
    in Karabakh, the reaction of the international organizations has
    changed essentially after the referendum on constitution. They used
    to stress separate principles, now they are being more cautious,
    because now the principle of self-determination is underlying the
    talks, says the foreign minister of Armenia.

    He considers strengthening legal, economic and institutional basis
    of the republic of Karabakh as a factor facilitating the settlement,
    which will establish facts that Azerbaijan will have to accept. The
    more confident the NKR people and government feel, "the easier it will
    be to reach a settlement through compromise," thinks the Armenians
    foreign minister.
