YEREVAN, JUNE 8, NOYAN TAPAN. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot
be solved through negotiations until Armenia and Azerbaijan renounce
the formulation "Karabakh is ours." Suren Sureniants, a member of
the Hanrapetutiun (Republic) party Political Board, expressed such
an opinion at the June 5 press conference. According to him, if today
the Armenian side rejects the document proposed on the basis of Madrid
principles, a more unfavorable proposal on settlement will appear in
10 years. S. Sureniants added that a variant much more favorable for
the Armenian side was on the negotiations table 10 years ago, and
history showed that the more time passes the worse the variants become.
In his words, Nagorno Karabakh problem's settlement is a necessity, as
Armenia cannot develop in a blockade. And, as S. Sureniants emphasized,
concessions are compulsory in the context of problem settlement. "For
me, the most important is Nagorno Karabakh people's internationally
guaranteed security and Karabakh's being Armenian. After all,
we liberated the seven territories proceeding from local people's
security," he mentioned.
