YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 21, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. According to
President of Armenia Robert Kocharian’s estimation, "we can not speak
about serious successes" in the negotiations on the Karabakh conflict
settlement. According to Radio Liberty, the President of Armenia
stated about it in his speech made during the banquet organized by
representatives of the French Armenian community on February 19 at
the Paris "InterContinental" hotel. According to the same source,

stable solution" in that process. "The negotiations have one goal:
to legalize what we today have on that land," Kocharian emphasized.
Robert Kocharian gave a negative answer to the question of Radio
Liberty if it is possible to sign an agreement with Azerbaijan in
the coming summer.
Kocharian also touched upon today’s state of Armenia, saying that
the country came out of "the very hard" situation and entered "the
stage of stable development."
Speaking about the issue of Turkey’s recognizing the Genocide, the
President of Armenia emphasized that it is "not only a moral problem,
but also a problem of security of Armenia."
