IMPOSSIBLE TO PROGRESS BY DESTROYING

It came clear yesterday that leader of National Democratic Party
Shavarsh Kocharyan is disappointed of the speech delivered by the
first President, on September 21.

"If there were some people who had little expectations, these
expectations vanished after this speech. Because the essence of the
speech was clear. What was proposed, besides the criticism that has
always been heard?

First: something that was anticipated – to cede Karabakh. It seems that
he didn’t touch upon this topic but he did mean that. He spoke about
having open borders with the neighbors. He also said that Azerbaijan
would never agree to mutual concessions. Consequently the concession
must be unilateral.

Second: the aim is to destroy the system. You will never progress
by destroying. To cede Karabakh and to destroy is not a program,"
leader of the National Democratic Party said.
