The frenzied speculation surrounding the Karabakh settlement process
is of no credit to anyone, Armenian Foreign Minister Eduard Nalbandian
said.

"Speculation around the Karabakh problem, which for us is a matter
of national importance, are not doing credit to anyone," Nalbandian
told a press conference in Yerevan on Monday.

"The frenzy and ado created around the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict is totally baseless. On the one hand, it could be due to
naivety, to put it mildly, and on the other – attempts to catch fish
in murky waters," Nalbandian said.

The minister would not comment on the calls for his resignation
demanded by the Armenian revolutionary federation Dashnaktsutyun,
which is unhappy about the Karabakh settlement process. "If until
today this statement has not been commented on, then it means it need
not be," the minister said.
