ANC takes no steps on Karabakh settlement: Shahnazaryan
13:32 / 09/12/2009Out of all post-soviet republics, excluding Baltic
States, Armenia is the only one having a formed opposition, Armenian
National Congress member David Shahnazaryan stated at the ANC
headquarter opening in Hrazdan. He underlined that Armenian opposition
is not temporary or post-electoral and eventually ANC will win.
According to him, if ANC bolts `such a union will not be shaped in
Armenia in the near 10-15 years.’ Shahnazaryan also touched upon
Armenian-Turkish reconciliation, saying there is not a single point in
the Protocols implying concessions from Turkish side. Just the
contrary, Armenian side is the one to make concessions. He mentioned
the provision on setting up the historians’ sub-commission.
Commenting on the Karabakh conflict settlement, ANC member emphasized
that the Party finds difficulty in making decisive actions as Karabakh
itself either does not express its clear position on the matter or NKR
authorities state pinning faith on the Armenian president.
`Unfortunately neither NKR authorities nor its population assess the
situation accurately’.
