    Armenian elite made a blunder in Karabakh issue

    Political thought in Armenia has appeared in a deplorable situation,
    especially in foreign policy issues, says Larisa Alaverdyan, Executive
    Director of "Against Legal Arbitrariness" NGO.

    Alaverdyan said this in view of Azerbaijan's policy in the settlement
    of the Karabakh conflict.
    "The notorious Madrid Principles stipulate that Armenia should
    withdraw its troops from the liberated territories. With our passive
    and retrieving steps we are thwarting our foreign policy. In the
    meantime, Azerbaijan with its aggressive policy is putting into
    circulation documents like the Madrid Principle. We should not take
    this seriously but we should fight against it," she said.

    Larisa Alaverdyan thinks that Armenia should raise the Karabakh issue
    in all international structures as Azerbaijan seizes every opportunity
    to receive the required votes in every voting.

    "The Karabakh conflict is in an asymmetric state today. As for the
    format of the OCSE Minsk Group I have always said that we already have
    a great achievement as we have been able to retain peace, even bad
    peace, for 15 years. The mediators ascribe the achievement to them;
    this is their primary goal," she said.
    Speaking about the policy of Armenia's three presidents in the
    Karabakh issue, Mrs Alaverdyan stressed that during his tenure Robert
    Kocharyan extruded Karabakh from the negotiations as a third side.

    "He considered himself to be a Karabakh citizen and acted as
    Karabakh's representative in the talks. Without understanding the
    seriousness of the matter the Armenian elite made huge blunders in the
    process of conflict settlement," she concluded.
