Representative of the Armenian National Congress (ANC) David
Shahnazaryan is confident that the Armenian Parliament will ratify
the Armenian-Turkish protocols first without any reservations.
ANC representative notices some changes in Russia's position. "I
have an impression that Russian needed the signing of the protocols,
not the opening of the Armenian-Turkish border," David Shahnazaryan
told a press conference today.
Speaking about the Karabakh issue, Shahnazaryan said the negotiations
are at a very interesting stage. He notices trends of changing the
format of the settlement process or launching a parallel process. As
a ground for this he recalled the OSCE Chairperson's visit to the
region and some of his remarks.
"The situation is unprecedented: the OSCE Chairman-in-Office arrives in
the region and presents the proposals of his country's president. I
wonder whether the Minsk Group Co-Chairs are familiar with those
proposals. There is an impression that attempts are being made to
launch a parallel process of settlement. The probability of this is
not great, but these attempts obviously influence the pace of the
process," David Shahnazaryan said.
