KARABAKH’S ROLE AS A HOME POLITICAL FACTOR IN ARMENIA WILL GROW
BEFORE THE ELECTION

The role of the Karabakh issue as a home political factor in Armenia
will grow during the presidential campaign, stated Vardan Oskanyan in
an interview with Shant TV, News Armenia reports.

According to him, the signs are already seen because the political
forces, especially the opposition and the first president of Armenia
Levon Ter-Petrosyan find a possibility of manipulating it.

At the same time, Vardan Oskanyan said these efforts are pointless.
According to him, these political forces have no full information
about the talks and since the Armenian government does not reveal the
content of the document on the table of negotiations, they insist
there is no difference between Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s efforts ten
years ago and current efforts.

`At the same time, I can say the difference is considerable. They are
totally different document, and it is pointless to draw parallels
between them,’ said the foreign minister of Armenia.
