MP: OSCE Minsk group appointed Armenia the only side to compromise
`Negotiation details disclosed by the new US Co-Chair of the OSCE
Minsk group for the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement Matthew
Bryza envisages one-sided compromise from the Armenian side,'
Armenian People's Party Secretary, opposition Justice faction
spokesman Grigor Arutyunyan stated on June 29 at a news conference.
He is quoted by a REGNUM correspondent as saying that, according to
the Bryza's suggestion, Armenia is supposed to hand over to
Azerbaijan five mapped territories, upon which, `in the undefined
future, voting on the future status of Nagorno Karabakh is supposed
to be held.' `The proposal is both unfavorable and dangerous for us.
No mutual compromises are envisaged in the document. Only Armenia
compromises.'
Arutyunyan asserted that a recent authorities' statement on the
proposal shows that Yerevan agrees with the document and that
negotiating process on Nagorno Karabakh moves on the wrong track.
Attempting to interpret statements of OSCE Minsk group Co-Chairs
which `do not see logic for additional proposals,' he upheld that two
developments' scenarios will be possible if the conflict is not
settled. `Either the negotiation format will be changed or
hostilities will recommence in the region,' the MP stressed, adding
that Armenian President Robert Kocharyan should resign in the latter
case.
