Member of the ARF Bureau Vahan Hovhannisyan welcomes President Serzh
Sargsyan's statement that `Armenia will search for other ways if
Azerbaijan refuses to accept the Madrid Principles,' but says that the
statement was a little belated.
The last statement of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries made it
clear to Azerbaijan that it had no right to select some principles
over others, he said.
According to Vahan Hovhannisyan, the decision of the International
Court of Justice on Kosovo can serve as a new tool for international
recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.
`The verdict is fair and corresponds to our interests,' he said.
Touching upon the normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations,
Vahan Hovhannisyan said `the process has hit a deadlock, since we put
the emphasis on the ratification of the protocols, not the opening of
the border.' According to him, the correct decision would be the
withdrawal of our signature from the protocols.
