The Karabakh problem will be the centre of attention to the Armenian
president, states the election program of the presidential candidate
Serj Sarkisian, the Armenian Prime Minister, which is on his official
internet site.

According to the document, settling of the Nagorno-Karabakh problem
should be based on following principles: international recognition of
the right of the `people’ of Nagorno-Karabakh for self-determination
and creation of conditions for enabling rights; provision of security
to the `Nagorno-Karabakh Republic ‘ and its population; availability
of a common border between Armenia and the `Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic’, Novosti-Armenia reported.

`For each wise man it is clear that any more or less complicated
process, especially settling of a conflict, cannot be implemented at
once. That needs several stages,’ the program says.

The agreement between the sides of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
should include a solution of all issues and the mechanisms to enable
implementation of the solutions, the document says.
