"If Azerbaijan accepts the right of Nagorno Karabakh people for
creation of their own statehood, all other issues will be settled
quickly and successfully", said secretary of the parliamentary faction
of the Prosperous Armenia party, joining the coalition of powers,
deputy Aram Safaryan.
"Armenian side has stated through the past years that the OSCE Minsk
group is an optimal format for conduction of talks on the Karabakh
settlement and fixing this fact in the Moscow declaration is a great
achievement. The progress is that we have no differences on this
point with Azerbaijan", said the deputy.
"I think the mission of the Russian President was to gather the
Presidents of the two countries together and lead them to formation
of good will that the talks must continue. In this context I consider
that 2009 is a time of progress in the negotiation process for the
principles - Madrid principles, format - OSCE Minsk Group, co-chairs -
Russia, United States and France have been fixed along with the sides'
readiness to settle these issues in the framework of international
law", said Safaryan.
The deputy noted that if Azerbaijan accepts the right of Nagorno
Karabakh people for creation of their own statehood, all other issues
will be settled quickly and successfully otherwise the process will
reach a deadlock.
Commenting on the rumors, discussed in the Armenian society about
possible deployment of the peacekeeping contingent on the areas,
adjacent to the self-declared Karabakh, Safaryan reminded that
the program of "Flourishing Armenia", also fixed the need for the
international guarantees of Karabakh security.
"We are for the resolution of the Karabakh conflict on the basis of
three principles: the right of Nagorno Karabakh for self-determination
is recognized, Nagorno Karabakh must have a land border with Armenia
and the rights of the Karabakh people must be protected by the
international organizations, leading countries of the world and so
on. If this implies deployment of any forces, which will guarantee
Karabakh security, this is normal. But I can not say anything
definite, as I am unaware about the subject of talks", concluded
the parliamentarian.
