"Armenia must work to review Madrid principles in the resolution of
the Karabakh conflict", considers leader of the Armenian Democratic
Party Aram Sargsyan.

"Unfortunately, these principles do not meet the main interests of
Nagorno Karabakh and Armenia must review them", said he.

Sargsyan considers that if the document, based on Madrid principles,
discusses return of the liberated lands and in this context the lands
which are under Azerbaijan’s control are not considered, this is a
real regress.

Moreover, he said when refugees are implied, only Azerbaijanis are
meant "though they do not have refugees, only displaced persons".

"Refugees are Armenians, which are really obliged to escape from Baku,
Sumgayit and other settlements", noted he.

According to the leader of the Democratic Party, the document has
many debated issues, for example the deployment of peacekeeping forces.

"There can hardly be several examples of establishment of peace
and tranquility with appearance of peacekeeping forces in any
zone. Unfortunately, everything occurs on the contrary, therefore, the
parity, existing in this conflict, should be preserved", said Sargsyan.
