Karabakh crisis settlement implies package option - Armenian FM

YEREVAN. Jan 29

The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group for Karabakh settlement
repeatedly said that the problem should be resolved on the basis of
principles and elements suggested by them, Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian said.

"These principles and elements are presented as the single thing, as
the single package. This is why the talks about the ways to settle the
conflict, either gradually or in a package, are unserious. The
attempts to single out a certain principle will make the settlement of
the issue impossible," Nalbandian said at a press conference on
Monday.

This is a package proposal put forth by the intermediaries and
repeatedly stated by the presidents of the co-chairing countries, that
is, Russia, the United States and France, he said. "But a package
solution definitely implies gradually putting this solution into
practice," the Armenian foreign minister said.
