/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly
can cause a crack in the Karabakh process, Armenia's Foreign Minister
Vartan Oskanian told Kentron TV Channel.
"The talks may collapse if Azerbaijan keeps on pushing forth the
provisions of the resolution. In this case, the absence of common
grounds will drive Armenia out of the process and Azerbaijan will
have to hold talks immediately with Stepanakert," the Minister said.
"The OSCE MG proposals on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
have nothing in common with the resolution adopted by the UN General
Assembly. The draft resolution was put on the UN GA agenda two years
ago. During this time the mediators succeeded in convincing Azerbaijan
of inadvisability of the measure that could be supported by two dozens
of Islamic states only," he said.
According to the Minister, the Kosovo issue and to some extent
Armenia's domestic situation whipped Azerbaijan up. "However,
the Armenian side has numerously stated that Kosovo will not set a
precedent for Karabakh," he said.
