The positive outcome of talks on the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict might be reached only by the striving of Armenian and Turkish
communities for reconciliation, considers Vardan Khachatryan, deputy
of the National Assembly of Armenia from Heritage oppositional faction.

"Expectations from the possible resolution of the Karabakh conflict
are insignificant as the current talks are kept confidential", said
Khachatryan at a press conference Tuesday.

He noted that today the negotiation process is far from the
reconciliation of the two communities for both Turkish and Armenian
publics are not aware of the negotiation process and are not ready
for mutual concessions.

Khachatryan voiced opinion of the heritage party that Azerbaijani
party committed a genocide against Armenians.

The most important, considers the deputy, that Azerbaijan started
military actions against a part of its citizens and was defeated.

According to him, the Heritage party does not consider it acceptable
to speak of any claims of Azerbaijan regarding the lands and population
of Karabakh.

He is confident that there is no place for compromise for Azerbaijani
powers want to see Armenians terminated.

"If we want to live and they want to see us terminated, reconciliation
is impossible. Azerbaijan must reject its position of demanding
impossible for getting maximal once and forever", noted Khachatryan.
