"The presence of any peace-keeping force in this territory will provoke
military operations, because not only our sides but also Iran, the
third, the fourth and the fifth countries which have interests here
will disagree",-said the president of the Armenian Democratic Party,
Aram G. Sargsyan at the press conferefnce.

As to him, no situation dictating new intensifications is to be
allowed.

In the open letter addressed to Serzh Sargsyan, a series of facts
are introduced, which are sufficient for the Armenian side to present
new conceptual approach, not letting the break off the talks.

"New approaches can be old, but can be represented in a new way", –
mentioned A. Sargsyan, and said that according to the inquiries made
by them, 61% of the questioned is against the "Madrid Principles".

In the letter the main principles, which according to them should
substitute the "Madrid ones", are proposed for discussion.

According to these principles "the sides agree on starting at least
three parallel processes: signing a peace treaty between the sides
on conflict, which is valid till the end of the talks and serves the
basis of giving up the advocating against each other, realization
of activities designed by a special program to ensure the trust and
mutual understanding, and an economic process; in the first stage
the realization of the mediated cooperation programs to ensure
preconditions for NKR to take part in the projects on territorial
issues and to contact with Azerbaijan directly".

A. Sargsyan is sure that the Armenian side is to take the initiative
and Azerbaijan can refuse the offers and be "irrational".
