/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today’s settlement plan and the format of the
talks is not targeted at long-term settlement of the conflict, NKR
President’s Aide for Foreign Policy Arman Melikian said in an interview
with PanARMENIAN.Net. "The aims of the mediators and sides involved in
the conflict differ in understanding the core of the conflict. As for
the proposals already rejected by the parties, it’s not worth talking
of them and judging which one was better. Restoration of communications
and opening of borders cannot resolve the conflict; moreover this will
not guarantee considerable economic progress. They say if the proposal
is accepted Armenia will prosper and investments will flow. Nothing of
the kind. The country should develop itself. People in the West can
count money and they will give as much as it’s essential to secure
their interests," he said.
