YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 7, NOYAN TAPAN. The negotiation process on
settlement of the Karabakh conflict corresponds to the program of
"Prosperous Armenia" Party (PAP), the secretary of the National
Assembly "PAP" faction Aram Safarian stated at the November 7 press
conference. According to him, their party’s position is that the
settlement of the Karabakh problem should be based on the 3 pivotal
points: 1) Karabakh may not become part of Azerbaijan as a result of
any negotiations as it has achieved the right to be an independent
state, 2) Karabakh must have a common land border with Armenia, 3)
the people of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic has the natural right to
live, work and create peacefully in homeland, and this right must be
ensured by international guarantees.
A. Safarian expressed a positive opinion about the Declaration on
settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, which was signed by the
presidents of Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan in Moscow on November
2. He said that it is line with the principles of PAP.
