SERZH SARGSYAN SHOULDN'T HAVE PARTICIPATED IN MUNICH NEGOTIATIONS: VAHAN HOVHANNISYAN

Armenia
The statement made by Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev before
Sunday's meeting in Munich was not from a series of simple statements,
it was a threat in the manner of an ultimatum, after which Armenian
President Serzh Sargsyan should have made the only correct step; that
is, not to have gone and participated in the negotiations in Munich.
This opinion was expressed by Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaktsutyun, or ARF-D) bureau member, ARF-D parliamentary faction
leader Vahan Hovhannisyan during a press conference today. He is
sure that everything is done today for Armenia to make concessions
on Nagorno-Karabakh so that Turkey's parliament ratifies the
Armenia-Turkey Protocols.
After Aliyev's bellicose statements, Hovhannisyan thinks, the
clauses which are advantageous for the Armenian side in the
Meindorf Declaration are devalued. According to the declaration,
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be settled without war. Moreover,
the ARF-D MP also considered dangerous Meindorf Declaration "author"
Russia's role in the processes of Armenia-Turkey reconciliation and
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.
As an aside, Hovhannisyan noted that in his opinion, passing the
Armenian Genocide resolution in the US Congress will have a very
positive influence on the Armenian-Turkish process, but whether it
will be passed or not the ARF-D member can't predict.
