AZERBAIJAN THWARTS KARABAKH PEACE PROCESS - ARMENIA PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKER
Interfax
March 30 2009
Russia
The parties to the Nagorno- Karabakh conflict should avoid steps that
could create unnecessary tensions on the path towards a peaceful
conflict resolution, Armenian Parliamentary Speaker Ovik Abramian
said at a meeting with German Foreign Ministry's Secretary of State
Gernot Erler in Yerevan on Monday.
"The conflicting parties should avoid steps that might create too
many tensions during the peace process, which is being thwarted by
Azerbaijan's belligerent statements," Abramian was quoted as saying
by the parliament's press office.
The Karabakh settlement process is based on the acknowledgement and
exercise of the right to self-determination by the people of the self-
proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh, the existence of the land border between
Nagorno-Karabakh and Armenian and security guarantees for the people
of Karabakh, the speaker said.
Abramian pointed to the importance of developing Armenian-Turkish
relations for the regional stability and security. Armenia is ready
to establish and develop diplomatic relations with Turkey without
any preconditions, he said.
