"I am glad to know that unlike 2003 today Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan supports Karabakh’s involvement in the Karabakh peace talks,"
the leader of the People’s Party of Armenia Stepan Demirtchyan and
the key rival of Kocharyan during the presidential race 2003 said
during today’s press-conference in the Friday press club.

Asked by an ArmInfo correspondent to comment on the Karabakh peace
process in the context of the Nov 14 meeting of the Armenian and Azeri
FMs, Demirtchyan said that it is hard for him to comment on the process
as he is not aware of the details. In any case, Demirtchyan believes
that real progress in the process is possible only if Karabakh is
involved in it.
