"The proposed concessions, Armenian side is ready to make in the
resolution of the Karabakh conflict, must not refer to the right of
nations for self-determination", considers Mkrtich Minasyan, deputy
of the National Assembly from the ruling Republican party.

"Readiness for mutual concessions is a required factor in the
resolution of the Karabakh conflict, yet concessions in the issue of
the right of Karabakh people for self-determination are inadmissible",
said Minasyan.

Expressing his personal point of view about resolution of the conflict,
Minasyan stressed the need to attain recognition of independence of
"NKR" and ensure its contacts with Armenia.

He noted that in case the agreement and later a contract are signed
between the conflict parties, the direct participation of "NKR"
in this process must be ensured.

Speaking of the Moscow declaration, Minasyan positively assessed
"the absence of the accent on the principle of the territorial
integrity of the state" and the expressed readiness of the parties
to continue negotiation process, aimed at the peaceful resolution of
the Karabakh conflict.
