"I have no great expectations over Sargsyan-Aliyev-Medvedev meeting in
Astrakhan on October 27," MP from Armenian Revolutionary Federation
Dashnaktsutyun (ARFD) Armen Rustamyan stated at a press conference
on Tuesday.
"If a problem is not solved, tangible results of the talks are out of
question. The Karabakh conflict is not resolved due to Azerbaijan's
unconstructive stance. In this regard, no progress is expected on the
matter. At the moment, an absurd situation has been created over the
peace process. The conflicting parties welcomed the Madrid Principles.
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian has recently stated
three principles, namely territorial integrity, nations' rights to
self-determination and non-use of force, as well as six elements,
the Madrid Principles are based on, are inseparable.
"Now a simple question. How consonant are these 6 elements with the
results of referendum held in Karabakh in 1991 and 2006? This is a
very important point. Full information on the negotiation process is
available to public. When the talks reach this stage, peace enforcement
principle comes into effect," Rustamyan underscored.
According to the MP, the Astrakhan meeting will urge the parties
to accelerate the peace process and carry out activities to sign a
peace agreement.
As to his stance on Russia's most active role on Karabakh conflict
resolution among the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair countries, Rustamyan
said: "U.S. and France see the conflicting parties are inclined to
hold discussions and come to an agreement with Russia. Why should
they oppose the sides?" he noted.
