Armenia
YEREVAN. - The stance of opposition Armenian National Congress (ANC)
towards Kazan meeting and towards Karabakh conflict in general will
be determined by two factors, said ANC coordinator Levon Zurabyan to
a press conference on Friday.
"Firstly, that will be the text of the framework agreement or the
document to be adopted in Kazan. ANC has many professional diplomats
who are fluent in diplomatic workarounds and are well aware that
every word, comma or expression may be crucial for the evaluation
of the document. The second and more important factor that will
determine our position, is the response of the people and leadership
of Nagorno-Karabakh," said Zurabyan.
According to him, ANC has been and remains the most ardent advocate
of self-determination of Karabakh people.
"Anything that is not acceptable for the authorities and people of
Karabakh is not acceptable for ANC either," said the coordinator of
the Armenian National Congress.
Asked whether the meeting in Kazan could prove terminal, as many
experts think, he said that there is a certain unprecedented diplomatic
background, indicating that both the mediators and the parties are
determined to resolve the conflict much more seriously than before.
"I cannot predict whether things will work out now," said Zurabyan
inviting the audience to wait for developments.
