"We will have a constructive and good opposition in the face of
All-Armenian National Movement (ANM)," Galust Sahakyan, Armenian
Republican Party (HHK) faction head at the parliament, told a debate
with Davit Shahnazaryan, ANM board member. Sahakyan said so after a
discussion running on Karabakh conflict settlement and interpolitical
situation.

Shahnazaryan said there can be no interpolitical situation in the
country until Karabakh conflict is resolved. Moreover, he thinks the
current authorities do not want to find settlement to the conflict. "If
until the year 2006 the processes in Karabakh conflict settlement were
bad for us after 2006 the situation sharply changed into very bad,"
Shahnazaryan said.

Sahakyan did not share the pessimism of Shahnazaryan and said that
Karabakh conflict settlement depends on the will of superpowers. "We
have become a subject for game for superpowers," NA deputy said
suddenly stating that NKR conflict will be settled in the year 2012.

Shahnazaryan noted that Azerbaijan managed to include NKR conflict
in U.N. agenda whereas the Armenian authorities failed to raise the
problems of destroyed cross-stones in Nakhijevan and Old Jugha in
the U.N. agenda. Shahnazaryan said, "Armenian authorities look like
a rabbit with such policy."

Sahakyan softly rejected saying serious progress has been recorded
in Karabakh conflict settlement in the course of few years. He said,
"The whole world considers Karabakh more democratic than Armenia and
considerably more than Azerbaijan."
