Another protocol of intent similar to the Mayendorf declaration may be
signed during the Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian presidential meeting
likely to be held in Moscow, Chairman of the Democratic Party of
Armenia (DPA) Aram Sargsyan told a press conference.
However, he said, the document will not contain fundamental principles
of settling the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. "The fundamental principles
can hardly be signed in only a Russian representative's presence,"
Sargsyan said.
Speaking of the settlement process, the DPA leader pointed out that
Armenia should be bolder. "If they say to us 'give our lands back', we,
for our part, must raise a similar issue and demand Nakhchevan. If
they speak of the necessity for return of refugees, we, I turn,
must raise the problem of our 400,000 refugees. When they speak of
occupation, we must remind them that Nakhchevan was only placed under
Baku's patronage," Sargsyan said.
Speaking of Nagorno-Karabakh's involvement in the negotiations, A.
Sargsyan pointed out that Nagorno-Karabakh was to be negotiator
from the very beginning. He does not rule out that, giving consent
to Nagorno-Karabakh's return to the negotiating table, Yerevan is
employing a strategy of rejecting a settlement scheme by claiming
Nagorno-Karabakh to be against it.
