Karabakh. What is the reason of such interest?

said there is no need to look for a political context of this
activity. He mentioned that the delegation headed by Tigran Torosyan
arrived in Karabakh for the meeting of the parliamentary committee,
the delegation headed by Armen Rustamyan visited NKR for the
parliamentary hearings. For Oskanyan, he said you had better ask
him. In answer to our question if Karabakh and Armenia disagreeon the
principles of settlement of the Karabakh conflict, the leader of the
Democratic faction Vahram Atanesyan said at the moment Armenia should
not recognize the independence of NKR, and should claim a status of
Karabakh in the talks, which will not be inferior to the present
status. The leader of the parliamentary group ARF-Movement 88 Armen
Sargsyan said his political party claims the dominance of NKR in the
liberated territories, and silence over refugees and peacemakers, for
these would cause the war to ignite.

Session the two parliaments arranged to make a joint statement on the
settlement of the Karabakh issue. This statement has not been
considered so far. Answering the question of KarabakhOpen.com, NKR

parliaments of both countries.

statement. However, considering the statement of the parliamentary
hearings involving the parliamentarians of both states on the Karabakh
issue, there was not a final decision on issuing another message.'
