SHAHNAZARIAN: AUTHORITIES LOOK AT DRAGON LIKE A RABBIT AND DO NOTHING
Noyan Tapan News Agency, Armenia
Sept 19 2006
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 19, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. Until 2006
all the processes connected with the Nagorno Karabakh problem went
"in a direction bad for us," whereas since 2006 spring they started
to go "in a very bad direction." Davit Shahnazarian, member of the
Board of the Armenian National Movement (ANM) Party, expressed such
a viewpoint at the September 19 political dispute.
In D.Shahnazarian's words, Armenia's foreign policy already resembles
"a defeated game" (NT a game of chess is meant here): RA Foreign
Ministry declared that if the issue is moved to UN, the Armenian
side will stop the negotiations and the next day it was found out
that the issue "On Situation in Azerbaijan's Occupied Territories"
had been already placed on UN agenda with Armenia's consent. And
this, in D.Shahnazarian's words, means that Armenia for the first
time officially admitted the territories' being occupied.
The ANM Board member also said that the Armenian authorities will not
manage to prove even to the international community that the document
proposed by the OSCE Co-chairs, in particular, representative of U.S.
Matthew Bryza, was declined by Azerbaijan and not by the two
countries. "With their policy our authorities resemble a rabbit that
without exerting any effort looks at a dragon and does nothing,"
Shahnazarian declared.
Today's approach to the Nagorno Karabakh settlement, in the speaker's
words, "by 90% resembles the stage-by-stage approach proposed in
1997." And in general, no Armenian political force has a precise
position in the issue of NKR.
As Davit Shahnazarian affirmed, "the only way out of this situation
is to get rid of the current authorities, their leader, criminal
Robert Kocharian." He said that he voices term "criminal" addressed
to Kocharian not as an insult, but as a legal estimation.
Touching upon appeals of some opposition forces to start struggle
against criminogenic elements, the speaker emphasized: "Different
movements against the so-called crime have started. If these initiators
do not declare that criminal N 1 of Armenia is Robert Kocharian, so,
this is a political order."
