Leader of Armenian Democratic Party: "Conduction of plebiscite to
define the status of Nagorno Karabakh is an anti-Armenian step"
07 May 2008 [16:18] - Today.Az
Holding a plebiscite on definition of the status of Nagorno Karabakh
is the most unlucky variant for Armenia, said leader of Armenian
Democratic Party Aram Sarkissyan.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan told previously that the
discussed document on the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict
envisions plebiscite on definition of the status of the "Nagorno
Karabakh Republic".
"The principles, which are discussed at the moment are unacceptable
for Armenia. If we imagine that Azerbaijan agrees on plebiscite, this
means that we eliminate all steps beginning from 1988 until 1991",
said Sarkissyan on May 7.
According to leaders of the Armenian Democratic Party, in fact, the
Armenian side recognizes incompetence of creation of "Nagorno Karabakh
Republic" not speaking of the technical difficulties of conduction of
the plebiscite.
"Conduction of plebiscite is an anti-Armenian step, affecting
Armenia", said the leader of the Democratic party.
According to him, Armenia should primarily base on the fact that
independence of "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" from Azerbaijan has been
attained legally.
"The main demand of Armenia should be that "Nagorno Karabakh Republic"
is a developed unit and this is a dominant and other issues can be
settled only by way of compromise", said Sarkissyan.
At the same time, he noted that he does not have any expectations from
the meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministers, as
there is no political solution of the problem.
"The OSCE Minsk Group has only one mandate-resolution of the conflict
and elimination of its consequences, but when one side said that
Nagorno Karabakh conflict is his and the second states the same,
political compromise is impossible", said Sarkissyan.
According to him, Armenian diplomacy should offer to Azerbaijan to
conclude a peace agreement, as this way can lead to the issue
settlement. Sarkissyan added that international community would
realize that if Azerbaijan refuses to cooperate with the OSCE Minsk
Group, then direct talks of Azerbaijan with the Armenian side in the
person of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh are needed.
