Karabakh issue

ARMENIAN TERRITORIES ARE ALSO DISCUSSED

The statement of RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian
made at the National Assembly yesterday, saying that
the issue of the territories will be discussed only
after the discussion of that of the status of Nagorno
Karabakh in the negotiations with Azerbaijan received
the positive evaluation of Tair Taghizade, press
secretary of Azeri Foreign Ministry. "The necessity to
return the Azeri territories is a fact for the
Armenian side," Taghizade said in the interview to
"Trend" agency. "RA Foreign Minister has made it quite
clear that the Armenian side realizes that the return
of the occupied Azeri territories is integral part of
the conflict settlement process," he said. Taghizade,
certainly didn't specify that Oskanian meant the
Armenian territories, as well, including the Northern
and Eastern regions of Karabakh, Martouni, Martakert
and Shahoumian that are also fixed in the package, as
Mr. Oskanian emphasized yesterday. Mr. Oskanian
emphasized that all these issues are at different
levels but all of them are parts of the package.
