“We have never questioned the need for compromises in the settlement
of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict,” Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan told a meeting with the students of the Economy Department
at Yerevan State University today.

“The essence of possible compromises depends on several factors,”
Kocharyan said, pointing to Armenia’s domestic political and economic
situation and the position of the international community among
others.

“The stronger we are, the more we will get. The more we will get, the
better it is,” Kocharyan said. “We have to understand that compromises
in the settlement are inevitable. But we had better not speak about
their possible scale today.”
