    YEREVAN, JULY 3, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. "The frame agreement
    on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict (proposed by OSCE
    Minsk Group Co-chairs: NT) is acceptable for Armenia and we are ready
    to continue the negotiations being guided by the principles, which,
    in our opinion, are rather balanced," RA Foreign Minister Vartan
    Oskanian declared at the July 3 press conference.

    As he evaluated, "apparently, a right choice for mutual concessions"
    was made in the proposed document. "So, we hope Azerbaijan will revalue
    the situation and a possibility for continuing the negotiations and
    achieving positive results will be created," the Minister declared.

    Vartan Oskanian refuted the conversations that OSCE Minsk Group
    American Co-chair Matthew Bryza drew a parallel between Armenia
    and Azerbaijan in the issue of holding democratic reforms, at that,
    the comparison proved to be not in favor of Armenia. "Matthew Bryza
    in his interview declared that some improvement was registered in
    Azerbaijan and he would like some improvement to be registered in
    Armenia, too. But he did not drew a parallel. Today the difference
    in democracy in Armenia and Azerbaijan is so much obviously in favor
    of Armenia hat Bryza cannot have said this," the Minister assured.

    As for cases of violence towards Armenians in Russia and the position
    of the Armenian government in this issue, Vartan Oskanian said that
    the Armenian side continues discussing this problem with Russia. The
    Minister emphasized that the Russian side is also very much anxious
    about this. At the same time, according to him, this phenomenon is
    going on. "Serious steps are necessary, as unless this phenomenon
    stops, it will already become dangerous for the Russian public,"
    Vartan Oskanian declared.
