DEMOCRATIC PROCESSES IN NAGORNO KARABAKH WITHOUT EXTERNAL PRESSURES,
PARTY LEADER SAYS

Democratic processes in Nagorno Karabakh take place without external
pressures and without the assistance of grant programs, Shavarsh
Kocharyan, Armenian Democratic Party leader, said.

In his words, the Azeris try to divert the attention of European
institutes from the content of the new constitution of Karabakh which
is very close to European standards. `What did they want – field
commanders like in Chechnya?’ Kocharyan poses a rhetoric question.

Kocharyan raised the issues at the meeting with lord Rasel Jonston,
chairman of the special committee on Nagorno Karabakh in the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe. Lord Rasel promised
to visit Karabakh in summer.
