The statement of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs was tough and
unexpected; Grigor Harutyunian, member of the National Unity Party,
told journalists at "Pastark" club yesterday. "Negotiations are
proceeding in the wrong direction, their format is wrong," Harutyunian
assures. In his opinion, Armenian president Robert Kocharian transposes
Karabakh-Azerbaijan relations to the sphere of Armenia-Azerbaijan
relations.

He is sure that the president will soon resign but not forced by the
authorities or the opposition but because "resignation will be a way
out from this situation when a document is being imposed."

Armenia, Harutyunian argues, is taking one-sided concessions, which
is the result of illegitimate leadership. As to the inner political
situation, he welcomes the activities of the Republican Party and
promises that the opposition will be more active in autumn.
