YEREVAN.- If Armenia recognizes Nagorno-Karabakh's independence today
it will not instigate war tomorrow, member of opposition Heritage
Party said.
Stepan Safaryan considers the fact that the territory of
Nagorno-Karabakh is under Armenian control is much worse than
recognition for Azerbaijan and Turkey.
On the contrary, if Armenia continues discussing the Madrid Principles
obediently it will easier lead to the beginning of hostilities,
he told reporters on Thursday.
"Azerbaijan is seeking to raise the issue of Nagorno-Karabakh on
the international agenda.. Turkey, in its turn, tends to assume more
prominent role in the Minsk Group," Safaryan said.
If the negotiation process comes to a deadlock, it can actually
lead to a change in the format of the OSCE Minsk Group. Therefore,
he added, careful steps are necessary to rule out possible accusations
against Armenia.
"This does not mean that we should refrain from any steps. On the
contrary, specific moves should be taken, but they have to be weighted
and calculated," he concluded.
