Positions of the sides on the Karabakh conflict are so different that
it is impossible to expect the soonest resolution of the conflict, said
chairman of the Armenian National Democratic Party Shavarsh Kocharyan.

At the same time, he especially noted that the negotiation table has
not the "main subject" – "Nagorno Karabakh".

"The main cause is an active propaganda of Azerbaijan for presenting
Armenia as an aggressor country and in this policy Azerbaijan reached
definite progress", considers Kocharyan.

He noted that Armenia should understand that it faces a propaganda
taking advantage of the absence of clearly formed relations between
Yerevan and Khankendi on the resolution process.

"We do not work for presenting the conflict as one between Karabakh
and Azerbaijan and Armenia as an attracted side", considers the
Armenian politician.

The leader of National-Democratic Party also considers that hostilities
are not interesting to anyone: either Russia, or Europe or the
United States.

"If Azerbaijan was sure that blitz criegs will help attain success
in the armed resolution of the conflict, it will not hesitate for a
moment to implement its intentions", considers Kocharyan.
