GENERAL PRINCIPLES OF RESOLUTION AND VITAL INTERESTS OF KARABAKH
PEOPLE
Lragir.am 30 May 06
In early June the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will meet in
Bucharest. It is foreseen to sign a document with the core principles
of settlement.
The question has been discussed in press whether the document will be
signed or not, whereas the principles get very little attention. What
principles are meant? Presumably, it is a peace settlement of the
issue. What is next?
Logically, the approval of concession of territories by Armenia, and
recognition of the right to hold a referendum in Nagorno Karabakh by
Azerbaijan.
Apparently, everything has already been arranged with Armenia, whereas
Baku is reluctant to implement its obligations. Or it pretends to be
reluctant. To show later on what a sacrifice it made to claim more
than it has now. In the meantime, with an easy agreement Armenia will
have nothing to claim and will not be able to retrieve what it will
have given up.
The talks for settlement have been expedited, which indicates the
likelihood of the mediators to settle the issue quickly. There is no
time and feeling like observing the rules of the same ritual.
Negotiations are conducted with Armenia and Azerbaijan, though
formerly the mediators would visit Stepanakert for appearance.
Moreover, during the recent visit of the mediators the NKR president
was in Moscow participating in the Congress of the Union of the
Armenians of Russia. And generally everything is so confidential as if
a question of some territories or deployment of forces at the Iranian
border is discussed rather than the fate of a nation.
At least, the leadership of Karabakh would not say whether these
principles are favorable for the people of Karabakh.
