Today the print media and the radical opposition spread panic among the
Armenian society connected with the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue, Head of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun faction of the National Assembly
Hrayr Karapetyan told a press conference today.

However, according to him, there is no reason to panic, since the
Karabakh issue will not be solved in the near future. Mr. Karapetyan
noted at the same time, that the wish of the opposition to create an
atmosphere of panic in the country is understandable, since this way
the opposition is trying to solve a political issue.

According to Hrayr Karapetyna, in any case one should not forget that
panic negatively affects the settlement process and moral-psychological
condition of the Armenian nation. "It’s not like 1988 today. Karabakh
is not question number one for the Armenian society," he said, adding
that Armenians will again win due to their invincible spirit if a
new war is launched.

According to him, the militant statements of Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev remain unanswered only because Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan is a "decent person and does not wish to harm the negotiation
process with response statements."
