The negotiating process on Karabakh conflict settlement should be
frozen, the leader of the Democratic Party of Armenia, Aram Sargsyan,
said at today's press-conference.
He said that after pardoning of Ramil Safarov and dissemination of
Armenophobia in Azerbaijan, there is no sense to gather around the
negotiating table, as all possible compromises between the parties to
the conflict have been exhausted. He thinks that the Armenian parties
should agree to continue the negotiating process only if official
Baku apologizes. At the same time, he added that Armenia should not
be in a hurry to recognize Nagornyy Karabakh Republic, as before that
there are more important processes to be implemented. "According
to international norms, Armenia should first recognize legitimacy
of the NKR leaving Azerbaijan, then legitimacy of the NKR creation
and only after that to recognize independence of the NKR basing on
international experience", - Sargsyan said. He also did not rule out
resumption of battle actions in Karabakh and added that Azerbaijan
cannot start them alone. As for Armenia, it must conduct such a policy
which will give an opportunity to ensure security not only of the
NKR and Armenia but also of all the Armenians in abroad, he said.
