Former Armenian President Robert Kocharian never quitted big
politics, so speaking of his return would be just poor wording, ARF
Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group leader Vahan Hovhannisyan stated,
when commenting on a possible return of the second Armenian President
to political activity.

As he told a news conference in Yerevan, a question on Kocharian’s
return in the system of state governance would sound more relevant;
still, he said, the issue is not yet on the agenda.

Dwelling on Karabakh conflict settlement, he noted that return of even
two regions will be unacceptable to Armenia. "The amount of territory
yielded is not principal in case of one-sided concession," Mr.
Hovhannisyan stated.

"The issue of concessions can’t be brought up until Karabakh status
is determined," he said.
