/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The historical and legal factors are important in
conflict settlement. However, latest developments, as well as current
situation are also important, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated when
answering questions of Azg Daily readers. In his words, taking it
all into account, Azerbaijan not willing to put up with the reality
is a major obstacle in the Nagorno Karabakh settlement. Besides,
it does not even wish to compromise, take a risk for attaining a
political solution.
Answering a question from Baku, that asked "Which of the regions
the Republic of Armenia is ready to return immediately in response
to Azerbaijan giving up the solution of the conflict by force?",
Oskanian said, "Firstly, your question formula is incorrect. Armenia
will not give the territories either under the treat of war, or in
case of refusal from war. Armenia is ready to discuss issues relating
to territories and refugees only in case Azerbaijan recognize Karabakh
people's right to self-determination."
As of "whether the Armenian Government is going to pay compensations to
200 thousand refugees from the Republic of Armenia," the Armenian FM
stated, Armenia is ready to discuss the issue within Azeri Government
providing compensation to 350-400 thousand Armenian refugees from
Azerbaijan.
