Today European Parliament president Van der Linden, while meeting with
the Armenian delegation, expressed his disappointment at the lack of
progress in the Karabakh peace process. Talking about his July visit
to the region, he noted the tension between the participants in the
process. The leader of the Armenian delegation, Davit Harutyunyan,
explained that this was because of the military threats emanating from
Baku. Armenian delegation member Avet Adonts added that the European
Parliament played an important part in the solving of this issue and
should exert further efforts in the South Caucasus.

About the forum to take place in Berlin on Oct. 5, concerning frozen
conflicts, Harutyunyan suggested the participation of Karabakh,
saying that their participation would add balance to the process.

We note that in the meeting that began yesterday the Armenian
delegation consisted of Davit Harutyunyan, head of the NA permanent
legal committee, Armen Rustamyan, leader of the NA committee on
foreign affairs, Raffi Hovhannisyan, of Heritage, Mher Shageldyan,
of Orinats Yerkir, and deputies Grigor Margaryan and Vahe Hovhannisyan.
