YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 27, NOYAN TAPAN. "Any statement on the Karabakh
problem should be a cautious one because this is a problem of all of
us, a national problem and we should be careful in making statements
so as not to give Azerbaijan an additional opportunity to change or
toughen its positions, while L. Ter-Petrosian’s statement may have
such a consequence," the Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanian
told reporters when commenting on the first Armenian president Levon
Ter-Petrosian’s statement related to the Karabakh problem.

To recap, L. Ter-Petrosian said that the greatest crime of the current
authorities is that the settlement of the Karabakh problem has reached
a hopeless state over the past ten years: "If you follow Azerbaijan’s
responses, you will see that their position toughens with time,
and henceforth they will not make any compromise."
