    NAGORNO-KARABAKH PEACE PROCESS A GAME - EXPERT

    16:07 ~U 20.02.13

    Expert in international relations Menua Soghomonyan believes
    Nagorno-Karabakh's independence is a reality.

    "No concessions are possible, and the negotiations over Artsakh
    [Nagorno-Karabakh] are just a game because Artsakh is already
    independent," Mr Soghomonyan told journalists on Wednesday.

    He does not expect the problem to be resolved at the moment. He
    believes that Armenia's withdrawing from the negotiations will settle
    the problem. "Artsakh's independence is the whole problem, and Armenia
    has nothing else to do," Mr Soghomonyan said. Nagorno-Karabakh must
    be directly involved in the negotiations, he said.

    It is Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev and his administration that
    need the present negotiation process. Should the negotiation process
    reach a stalemate, they will not find anything to tell their society.

    "They say the problem needs a military solution, but they are well
    aware they are incapable of that," Mr Soghomonyan said.

    With respect to the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process, the Lisbon
    principles were in effect during Levon Ter-Petrosyan's presidency.

    The Madrid principles were the basis for negotiations under Robert
    Kocharyan. Armenia's incumbent president Serzh Sargsyan has assumed
    a harder line, which "is enhancing our country's reputation," the
    expert said.
