ArmInfo. "There is quite right opinion that Armenia has monopolized
the Armenian party’s rights at negotiations for settlement of the
Karabakh conflict. I’d like to say that Armenia has monopolized also
the responsibility of Nagorny Karabakh. It would be right if Armenia
and Nagorny Karabakh shared that responsibility," Gegham Baghdasaryan,
deputy of the NKR National Assembly, President of the Stepanakert
Press Club, said during presentation of the annual report by the
Civilitas Foundation in the NKR on the topic: "Armenia in 2009:
Promise and Reality."

The parliamentarian believes that the Republic of Armenia and the
Nagorny Karabakh Republic need a strategic agreement of cooperation.

For lack of such agreement, the positions of the Armenian party in
the negotiations have become weaker. The founder of the Civilitas
Foundation is the ex-foreign minister of Armenia. Vardan Oskanyuan
Armenia in 2009: Promise and Reality is the second annual country
report that comes to build on the analysis and projections made in the
Civilitas Foundation’s first annual report issued in December 2008. At
that time, the newly established foundation launched this annual
publication to fill a gap – the need to assess global, regional and
domestic developments from the inside, looking out. In other words,
these annual reports come to complement the various assessments
carried out by international organizations, to serve as the Armenian
perspective on the year’s developments within and around Armenia,
and to take stock of the outlook for the coming year.
