YEREVAN, September 29. /ARKA/. Tension between Azerbaijan and Armenia
has been escalated recently, Armen Darbinyan, Russian-Armenian
(Slavonic) Institute rector and former Armenian PM, said Thursday
answering ARKA News Agency’s question.

In his opinion, mutually acceptable solution should be found and
willingness for mutual concessions should be displayed by the sides.

"Our communities should be ready for that to continue dialogue and
find compromises", he said.

Darbinyan said "each side should make a step back from existing
status-quo".

He is convinced that there will be no prospects for Karabakh conflict
settlement "unless we understand that".
