/PanARMENIAN.Net/ There will be no breakthrough in the Nagorno
Karabakh process in the near future, according to RA National Assembly
former speaker.
`Unfortunately, Nagorno Karabakh is not a signatory of the Moscow
declaration, what gives Baku a possibility to gamble on the fact in
future. Actually, this document ignores the right of Karabakh people
to self determination, since it reflects the position of the leaders
of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia only,’ Tigran Torosian told a news
conference in Yerevan today.
`Furthermore, those who think that the declaration rules out the use
of force are mistaken. It speaks of political settlement but it’s
naïve to view military intervention apart of the political
process,’ he said.
Commenting on referendum to be held in NKR as a part of the settlement
process, Mr. Torosian said, `No one can guarantee that the
international community will recognize NKR’s independence after
referendum. Exclusion of NKR from talks was Armenia’s mistake which
should be corrected as soon as possible.’
