AZERBAIJAN'S UNWILLINGNESS TO ACCEPT THE MINSK GROUP'S SUGGESTIONS
SHOWS THAT ARMENIA MUST BE INTERESTED IN THE NEGOTIATIONS
Yerevan, July 22. ArmInfo. The leader of the Republican Party of
Armenia, Prime Minister Andranik Margarian once again affirmed
his adherence to the course assumed in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
settlement.
On a party meeting Mr. Margarian stated that he will strive for
the recognition of the right of the Armenian people of Karabakh for
self-determination, for insuring the security of the borders and of the
people. He added that compulsory terms of the conflict's settlement
are the following: the Republics of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh
must have a common border, Armenia's borders must not be changed and
Karabakh itself must be a subject of the negotiation process.
Commenting on the recently published suggestions by the OSCE Minsk
Group, the Prime Minister said that the terns about withdrawing
Armenian forces and dislocating peacemaking forces in Karabakh in
exchange of a referendum could be accepted, hadn't Azerbaijan always
rejected these terns and threatened with military aggression. Mr.
Margarian also noted that the armistice is preserved on the frontier
for already 12 years and thanked the Minsk Group for its contribution.
Andranik Margarian said that the possibility of ceding Azerbaijan
certain territories can be considered only in context with a number
of cessations from Azerbaijan. First of all Armenia demands holding
a referendum on the status of Nagorno-Karabakh and providing the
Republics of Armenia and Karabakh a common border. He expressed hope
that the President of Armenia will never give consent to one-side
cessations.
