Yerevan, 23 November: Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan said
in Yerevan today that the fate of the Prague process on the Karabakh
settlement, which had kicked off this year, would for “100 per cent
depend on whether or not the Azerbaijani draft resolution “On the
situation on occupied Azerbaijani territories” be adopted by the UN
General Assembly.

Replying to a question from Mediamax news agency, the Armenian foreign
minister said that if “a session of the UN General Assembly adopts
the Azerbaijani draft resolution, then the Prague process will prove
dead”. In this case, official Baku will have to conduct negotiations
with the legitimate authorities of Nagornyy Karabakh, Oskanyan said.

If the session of the UN General Assembly manages to pass another,
compromise option of the resolution, Armenia will agree to continue
negotiations on the basis of the Prague process, Oskanyan said.

“Given this, we shall immediately be ready for the second phase of
the negotiations,” Oskanyan said.
