YEREVAN, AUGUST 21, NOYAN TAPAN. Any versions of military solution
of conflicts are doomed to fail, which the Georgian-South Ossetian
conflict demonstrated as well. Stating this at the August 21 press
conference, member of the ARF Bureau Aghvan Vardanian said: "He who
takes up a sword will fall from it. This is the lesson to be drawn
from the Georgian events."
Speaking about the possible impact of these events on Nagorno Karabakh,
he noted that Karabakh is a much more successful state unit than
Ossetia, and while being unrecognized, it can serve as an example for
some recognized states in many issues. In the opinion of A. Vardanian,
what happened is an occasion for the main political forces of Armenia
to show their unity in the Karabakh problem and other problems of
national and state importance.
In the current situation A. Vardanian considered it important that the
Georgian authorities in cooperation with Armenia ensure the rights of
the Armenians of Javakhk as an ethnic minority. At the same time he
underlined that everything possible should be done to prevent Javakhk
from being used as a tool for increasing the tension by a third force.
In his words, one should also be careful about the activity displayed
by Turkey so that any initiatives to proceed from this activity will
not take place at the expense of Armenia.
