    ALEXANDER KANANYAN: FULFILLMENT OF EVEN ONE PARAGRAPH OF MADRID PRINCIPLES IS DISASTROUS

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ I do not preclude existence of framework agreement
    on Karabakh conflict settlement, drawn up based on Madrid principles,
    and signed by an authorized person. And agreement publication term
    is a subsidiary issue, Armenian Choice party initiative group member
    Alexander Kananyan believes.

    As Alexander Kananyan told a news conference in Yerevan, he came to
    this conclusion based on the precedent with Armenia-Turkey Protocols.

    "First we were told that the initialed Armenia-Turkey road map was
    only an amorphous document. Later, RA Foreign Minister stated that
    all paragraphs of Armenia-Turkey protocols were finalized as early
    as February 2009," he noted.

    Alexander Kananyan emphasized that in the light of the above mentioned,
    there are no guarantees framework agreement for Karabakh conflict
    settlement hasn't been created up till now. "The public has to
    understand, fulfillment of even of paragraph of Madrid principles is
    disastrous to NKR," he stressed.

    The Nagorno Karabakh conflict broke out in 1988 as result of the
    ethnic cleansing launched by Azerbaijan in the final years of the
    Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 to 1994. Since
    the ceasefire in 1994, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions
    of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the control
    of Nagorno Karabakh defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan have since
    been holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group.

    The Madrid document contains the proposals put forward by the OSCE
    Minsk Group co-chairs on the basic principles of a settlement. The
    document was presented to the Armenian and Azerbaijani representatives
    at the OSCE summit in the Spanish capital in November 2007.
