"Any conflict, or a complicated matter can be solved step by step,"
said former Armenian foreign minister and a member of the oppositional
Armenian National Congress Alexander Arzumanyan.

The so-called Madrid principles of the Karabakh settlement contain
such a version of solving, according to Alexander Arzumanyan. "After
the certain steps to be taken, the final phase of solving can
be determined, while the only problem is the status of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic," he said.

He also voiced concerns on some articles of the Madrid principles. In
particular, he says there are some uncertain moments in definition of
‘referendum’ which has no correlation with international law. The
declaration of will is written instead.
