`We made concessions before 1995 and in 1998, and it would not be
correct to make concessions today and expect Azerbaijan to change its
position,' RA President's Representative at the National Assembly
Garnik Isagulyan told a press conference today.
`The fact that we do not recognize Nagorno Karabakh is another
concession on the part of Armenia. That is to say Armenia has made
these concessions step by step after the conclusion of the ceasefire
agreement. Now we need to demonstrate to the international community
that Armenia is not about to make any more compromises, since not of
the concessions has ever resulted in the softening of Azerbaijan's
position or its military rhetoric,' Garnik Isagulyan stated.
RA President's Representative at the National Assembly expects changes
in the negotiation format, stating that otherwise the settlement of
the conflict is impossible.
`All meetings, talks and visits will be of advisory character unless
Nagorno Karabakh becomes party to the talks. Karabakh must return to
the bargaining table as a full party to the talks," he said.
