Some Armenian Parties Speculate on Karabakh Problem: Armenia’s FM

SOME ARMENIAN PARTIES SPECULATE ON KARABAKH PROBLEM: ARMENIA’S FM

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 2. ARMINFO. Some political parties of Armenia keep
speculating on the problem of the Karabakh conflict peaceful
settlement, says Armenia’s FM Vardan Oskanyan.

This speculations are damaging the settlement process and are working
against Armenia and the Armenian people. Today the opposition is
saying “yours, ours – ours was better.” They should understand that
the problem should be considered so as to make it as acceptable for
Armenia as possible.

All the opposition’s statements on the problem are coming to one
conclusion – that government should be changed. This proves that the
Karabakh problem is only a tool for them to attain their goal. This is
a serious blow on Armenia’s strong diplomatic positions in the world.

The opposition’s arguments have three serious flaws. First, in Astana
OSCE Minsk Group discussed just what is now on agenda. Before that the
Armenian and Azeri FM had met 4 times in Prague exchanging g opinions
and presenting their results of their discussions to their
presidents. OSCE MG new that Armenia is ready to continue the Prague
talks on the basis of the agreements reached by the FMs before.

The second flaw is that OSCE MG are alleged to support Azerbaijan’s
initiative at UN but in fact they are against it. UN postponed the
initiative discussion mostly because OSCE MG began to pressure
Azerbaijan into recalling it at all. The FMs and OSCE MG will shortly
meet in Sofia.

The third flaw is that Armenia and its government are reported not to
be interested in the quick resolution of the problem and to be
artificially delaying the settlement process. What they mean by
settlement – if what they are proposing then yes we better delay the
process – the present Armenian government will never give back its
controlled territories until the problem of Karabakh’s
self-determination is solved.

Armenia will not concede just for the conflict to be settled soon. The
same is for Karabakh’s de jure inclusion into Azerbaijan. The process
will go on until Armenia attains a solution meeting its interests and
the interests of its people. Azerbaijan’s current aggression is the
result of Armenia’s successful diplomacy. Azerbaijan is panicking and
is rushing from one international organization to another.
