Robert Kocharian has `modest expectations' from meeting on June 4
with Ilham Aliyev
Yerevan, 4 June 2006 (Regnum - website) - `I have modest expectations
from forthcoming meeting with Ilham Aliyev,' Armenian President
Robert Kocharian stated to the press. According to him, a variant,
which will enable long-term and peaceful settlement, is being
discussed. `However, I have an impression that the Azerbaijani side
does not wish peaceful conflict settlement at all; militarist
statements made in Baku are evidence of that,' the Armenian head
stressed.
`There has been no case after establishment of the UN, that some
nation that used its right for self-determination and achieved
independence de-facto, changed its opinion and rejoined the state it
separated from. I do not understand why the Armenian people and
Karabakh residents should be first, who will decide that independence
does not suit them because of some reasons. We have given no occasion
for such conclusions,' Robert Kocharian resumed.
The meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani presidents will take
place on June 4 in Bucharest.
