"The Karabakh declaration is a memo of intentions, rather than a
binding document", said deputy of Armenian parliamentary faction
Dashnaktsutun Artsvik Minasyan, commenting on the declaration on
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict resolution signed in Moscow by the
Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia.

"The readiness for the peaceful resolution of the conflict, reflected
in the Armenian-Azerbaijani-Russian declaration is a positive fact,
but the sides, especially Azerbaijan are too far from demonstrating
precise political will to reject the forced resolution of the
conflict", said Minasyan.

"It is necessary to make Azerbaijan sign a document in which it
rejects possible forced resolution of the conflict or attempts to
put a pressure on the opposite side by such a threat", said Minasyan.

The deputy noted that he did not expected the signing of any document
"that could become a reason of serious concerns in public" in Moscow.

"I do not consider the declaration to be a document, which may contain
binding norms for the parties. It is possible to say that this is a
memo of intentions, which the sides wanted to present. In the future,
when definite actions are taken, Nagorno Karabakh must take part
in the process. Establishment of peace in the region is impossible
without Karabakh’s participation", noted he.
