YEREVAN, APRIL 28, NOYAN TAPAN. On April 28, the RA National Assembly
finished discussion of the draft statement On Settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh Problem, which will be submitted for voting on April 29.
Draft author, NA Speaker Tigran Torosian expressed readiness to
discuss possible proposals before voting. He, in particular, agreed
to include in the draft ARFD faction's proposal on RA's being the
guarantor of NKR security.
The draft statement has already undergone some changes on the basis
of proposals made at the previous four-day sittings. Therefore,
RA NA proposes RA President and government the following:
- making Armenia's policy on Nagorno Karabakh settlement more
initiating,
- making active and expanding efforts of elaboration and implementation
of events aimed at completely informing the international community
about the Nagorno Karabakh problem, by involving the all-Armenian
potential, possibilies, and means for that purpose,
- working out the legal bases within the framework of the international
law, which will ensure more efficient cooperation between RA and NKR,
as well as in case of a military aggression or other forcible measures
by Azerbaijan will give RA a possibility to ensure NKR's complete
security and defence,
- exerting every effort for the purpose of ensuring negotiations'
efficiency to restore NKR representatives' complete participation in
that process as an internationally recognized conflict side,
- preparing alternative possibilities of international recognition
of NKR independence, which are to be used in case of failure of the
negotiations proceeding within the framework of the Minsk Group.
Zharangutiun faction member Larisa Alaverdian said that the faction
is not going to take part in the voting, as they cannot vote for
such a belated statement having no address, which does not contain
consistency of any task set, is futile from the very start and does
not stipulate the legal bases of legitimacy of NKR independence.
