/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Karabakh settlement is a complicated process,
containing wrinkled moments. All variants under consideration allow
for compromise, hence the result cannot be 100% acceptable for
either of parties, NKR second President Arkasy Ghukasyan announced
in Stepanakert. "The process still continues, and I am sure that
we have all chances to reach our goals. There are all objective and
subjective grounds for that," NKR ex-President stated.
With regard to possibility of handing over territories, Ghukasyan
said the issue has been circulating for 18 years, since Karabakh’s
gaining independence. "That will be a permanently discussed issue
not to be avoided by any President. But if negotiations do not focus
on the return of certain territories, Baku will declare of its
intention to renounce talks. We in turn state that if NKR status
is under consideration, negotiations will be conducted by us,"
a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent quotes NKR ex-President as saying.
RA second President Robert Kocharyan who is visiting Stepanakert
refused to answer journalists’ questions.
