The resolution of the UN General Assembly on Karabakh may undermine
the Karabakh conflict resolution process.
The due announcement was made by Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan.
"If Azerbaijan continues to insist on the regulations, fixed in the
resolution, the process will be destroyed, not because Armenia will
withdraw from the negotiations, but because there will be no contact
points. We can announce to Azerbaijan that we do not see the contact
points and if Azerbaijan wants to persuade the Karabakh authorities,
it will have to speak with them", Oskanyan noted.
He said the document proposed by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs on
the conflict settlement has nothing in common with the regulations
of the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly.
The Armenian Foreign Minister reminded that this situation is similar
to that in 1996 when the Minsk process was undermined by announcements
of the OSCE chairman-in-office during the Lisbon summit. He said at
that time Azerbaijan insisted on holding negotiation process on basis
of this announcement, however, it further understood the absurdity
of this demand.
"I am anxious about Azerbaijan's refusal to follow regulations fixed
in the negotiated document. I do hope Azerbaijan will understand
the impossibility of settling the problem by such resolutions",
Oskanyan noted.
