Prosperous Armenia Party (PAP) MP Naira Zohrabyan told Hetq
today that the party was fully behind President Serzh Sargsyan’s
recent statement in Syria that Armenia would be willing to make
territorial concessions in Karabakh if the people of the NKR were
afforded the right to exercise self-determination."The position
of Prosperous Armenia has always been clear. We are always open to
discuss concessions in Karabakh once the status of the NKR has been
determined, when the people of the NKR will be afforded avenues to
exercise self-determination," said the MP.

MP Zohrabyan said that this position of the PAP was not in conflict
with President Sargsyan’s position given in an interview to "Al-Watan",
a Syrian newspaper the other day.

The PAP MP said that President Sargsyan made it clear in Syria that
the underlying causes of the Karabakh conflict must be resolved and
this necessitates self-determination for the people of the NKR.

"Afterwards, MP Zohrabyan said, discussions as to concessions can
be discussed. Naturally, any resolution entails concessions on both
sides. There can be no unilateral concessions," she said
