Yerevan, 3 June: Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan did not
rule out today that “certain progress” can be achieved in the Nagornyy
Karabakh conflict settlement within the next two months.

Vardan Oskanyan said that he did not expect the mediators to exert
pressure on the parties to the conflict and make them sign a peace
treaty.

Commenting on the possibility of the resumption of hostilities in
the Karabakh conflict zone, the Armenian foreign minister said that
after the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline was put into operation,
chances of starting a new war would be “quite slim”.
