Aram Gaspari Sargsyan, the leader of the Democratic Party of Armenia,
thinks that the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair Mathew Bryza’s famous
interview and the revelation of details of the negotiations for the
settlement of the conflict over Karabakh means that the United States
is opening a new stage. On June 28 Aram Sargsyan told news reporters
that the United States is in a hurry because there is little time,
and the United States pursues aims in the region, which are known
to everyone. Aram Sargsyan hints at Iran, for according to him,
the United States pursues the presence of NATO forces in the region,
by stationing peacemakers in the conflict area.

"Because at present the United States is tired of this government,
it must directly impose what it says. I very much doubt that they will
be able to resist. In my opinion, the only way out is Mr. Kocharyan’s
resignation to allow postponing everything for a couple of years and
overcoming this state over that period. I cannot see another way,"
states Aram Gaspari Sargsyan. He says that stationing peacemakers
is unacceptable, independent from all. The leader of the Democratic
Party is even against Russian peacemakers.

Peacemakers will aggravate the situation and disturb the balance of
forces in the region. He does not think that the purpose of Mathew
Bryza’s statement was to increase the influence of the United States
on internal policies through the Karabakh issue.

"I think,if Bryza wished to increase the influence of the United
States, on the contrary. There might be political sets, which are
satisfied with that statement. Our party is not one of them. As for
the possible increase of their influence, it is possible because it is
not accidental that 235 million dollars of the Millennium Challenge as
if disappeared. It means they offer stipulations to the government of
Armenia," says Aram Gaspari Sargsyan. The leader of the Democratic
Party thinks that the internal political situation will give an
adequate response.

"Let nobody be confused if nothing significant happens in the summer
months. Everything goes on normally, and the results will be seen
later," said Aram Gaspari Sargsyan.
