VICE SPEAKER SAYS POINTLESS TO SPEAK ABOUT CONCESSIONS

`Until Azerbaijan accepts Nagorno Karabakh as a conflicting party,
Armenia will not have to speak about any concessions,’ Vahan
Hovanisyan, vice speaker of parliament, said. In his words, `When
Azerbaijan recognizes that, real negotiations will start, during
which, naturally, both sides will go for concessions.’

`When we see willingness by Azerbaijan to go for concessions, only
then we can speak about a package of concessions. It is pointless to
speak about concessions from our side, especially about territorial
concessions, when Azerbaijan declares its readiness to evade Armenia
or says that there will be no Armenia in 30 years, or else, that the
territory of the Republic of Armenia will be divided among Muslim
states,’ Hovanisyan said.
