Yerevan, June 28. /ARKA/. The presence of peace-makers in Nagorno
Karabakh must be ruled out, Chairman of the Democratic Party of Armenia
(DPA) Aram Sargsyan told reporters.
"We consider a peace-making mission in Nagorno Karabakh inadmissible,
because the balance of forces is maintained by the NKR Defense Army,"
he said.
According to Sargsyan, peace-makers' arrival in the zone will disturb
this very balance, which is pregnant with new threats and challenges
in the region.
Commenting on a recent statement made by RF Minister of Defense
Sergey Ivanov that the Russian army's involvement in the peace-making
mission is possible, A. Sargsyan pointed out that Ivanov meant Russia's
participation as part of international forces.
"I think that this is pregnant with new complications," Sargsyan said.
On June 23, American Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Matthew
Bryza stated that the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
are currently discussing a framework agreement. According to him,
Armenia's troops must leave the Azerbaijani territories under their
control. He pointed out that the document contains other points,
particularly ones on stationing of peace-makers in the conflict
zone, international assistance to Nagorno Karabakh and holding of a
referendum on the status of Nagorno Karabakh.
