YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Discussions on solution of the
Karabakh problem with Armenian political forces may give only positive
results, the leader of the National Democratic Union, former prime
minister of Armenia Vazgen Manukian expressed an opinion during the
November 20 talk with reporters.
V. Manukian did share the recent concern of the press regarding
the danger of solving the Karabakh problem not in favor of the
Armenians. In his words, the country is now governed by the people
who passed the turmoil of the Karabakh war and they will not permit
that the solution will contradict the interests of the Armenian side.
In his opinion, no rapid solution to the Karabakh problem should
be expected. V. Manukian said that the precedents of Kosovo, as
well as South Ossetia and Abkhazia may play a positive role in the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict. He also attached importance
to the fact that after the Russian-Georgian war it has become clear
that the regional conflicts cannot be resolved in a military way. At
the same time V. Manukian pointed out to some uncertainties in the
Madrid principles of the Karabakh conflict settlement, in particular,
those related to the status of Nagorno Karabakh, the mechanisms of
ensuring the population's security, and a land border with Armenia.
