SETTLEMENT PRINCIPLES
AZG Daily #130, 07/13/2006
OPINION
The publication of Nagorno Karabakh settlement elements by Bryza,
OSCE MG Co-Chair, was an attempt to exert pressure on presidents of
Armenia and Azerbaijan for fast settlement of the conflict. Khosrov
Haroutiunian, leader of "Christian-Democratic Union," said this at
July 11 press conference.
He said the OSCE MG first of all tried to exert pressure on Armenia,
taking into account the coming elections. Haroutiunian added that the
co-chairs should press Baku, as the very Azerbaijan doesn't agree with
their suggestions. He expressed confidence that the co-chairs will not
leave the negotiations, as the new military actions are neither in the
interests of the international community nor in the interests of the
sides in conflict. He added that Bryza merely aimed to represent the
negotiation points to the peoples of the sides in conflict, first
of all to NKR people. He emphasized that the political forces of
Armenia acted quite wisely after the publication of the settlement
elements. At the same time, he added that quite a new situation is
shaped in the negotiation process that requires activation of the
parliament's role in that process.
He added that the negotiation format will not be changed, stating
that in case the format is changed, Baku will have to negotiate with
NKR. Besides, the said that the current negotiation process will
hardly have any considerable impact on home political processes of
Armenia. He added that at present both Armenia and NKR stated they
are ready to consider the suggestions of the OSCE MG Co-Chairs as
grounds for continuation of the negotiations, but these suggestions
turned out to be unacceptable for Azerbaijan.
