Yerevan, 14 November: The chairman of the opposition People’s Party
of Armenia (PPA), Stepan Demirchyan, today voiced concern "about
the weakening of Armenia’s positions" in the negotiations on the
Karabakh settlement.

The PPA leader said at a news conference in Yerevan today that he
believes the final settlement of the Karabakh issue was unlikely to
happen in the coming one or two months.

Demirchyan said that the settlement of the conflict without the
participation of the Karabakh side and on the basis of the "Madrid
principles" would have negative consequences.

He said that his position was based on well-known excerpts from the
proposals of the co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group.
