    YEREVAN, AUGUST 7, NOYAN TAPAN. Representative of People's Movement
    (PM) David Shahnazarian accused the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs
    of lying.

    During the August 7 press conference, he presented to reporters a
    document that the RA MFA had sent to a number of mass media outlets,
    recommending that the information in that document be added at the
    bottom of their publications on the Karabakh conflict. According to
    the document, the Karabakh conflict began in 1991 when under the
    pretext of checking the passport regime, Azerbaijan together with
    the Soviet KGB committed ethnic cleansing of the Armenian population,
    which resulted in deaths and material losses.

    D. Shahnazarian considered this information spread by the RA MFA as
    illiteracy. In his words, the conflict started in 1988 when Azerbaijan
    responded to the well-known decision of the Supreme Council of the
    Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Region by committing violence, while the
    war started in 1991. D. Shahnazarian said that the above mentioned
    document of the RA MFA does not mention the decision taken at the OSCE
    Budapest Summit in 1994, by which Karabakh is recognized as a full
    and equal party in the negotiations on the conflict. D. Shahnazarian
    advised the mass media not to use this document.

    As for appointment of Shavarsh Kocharian as deputy foreign minister,
    D. Shahnazarian said that the authorities still expect that being
    familiar with European structures, S. Kocharian may help cover up
    the authorities' crimes there.
