YEREVAN, MARCH 14, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The Karabakh problem
can’t be solved by war. National Rebirth party Chairman Albert Bazeyan
expressed such an opinion at the March 14 discussion. According to
him, there has been a war once and the Armenian party gained victory
but the problem hasn’t been solved by now.

Albert Bazeyan stated that the negotiations process doesn’t advance and
if it goes on like this, it’s obvious that the winner will be the state
that will give more efficient solution to its domestic problems. If
Armenia succeeds in developing its economy, manifests national unity,
improves country’s moral-psychological atmosphere, even in case of
a war we can be sure that the opposite side won’t gain victory.

According to another participant of the discussion, NA RPA faction Head
Galust Sahakian, the international community has already factually
adopted the fact of Karabakh independence and it only remains to
register it juridically.

According to him, the financial assistance provided to Karabakh by
different states is the evidence of the international recognition.

According to Sahakian, some improvement in the Nagorno Karabakh
settlement is obvious in the recent period, Armenia has succeeded in
winning round different international organizations. As for the RA
President’s recent statement about recognizing the Nagorno Karabakh
independence by Armenia in case of a failure of the negotiations
through the fault of Azerbaijan, according to Galust Sahakian, this
is an adequate response to the policy carried on by the Azerbaijani
side years running.
