RA DEFENSE MINISTER QUESTIONS POSSIBILITY TO COORDINATE KARABAKH
SETTLEMENT’S PRINCIPLES IN 2007

RA Defense Minister Serge Sargsian questioned the possibility to
coordinate the Karabakh settlement’s principles in 2007.
`’Neither international mediators, nor various countries’
representatives, nor we have ever stated the issue may be settled in
2007. The matter concerns principles”, the Minister said yesterday
in the course of a meeting with the families of servicemen.
In his words, even in case the principles are coordinated, it will
take years to resolve the problem.
`’I have some doubts of the possibility to coordinate the principles
in 2007. I am optimistic about the problem’s resolution by peaceful
way, however, I do not think it is the issue of today or tomorrow”,
Serge Sargsian noted, Novosti-Armenia reports.
