Vardan Oskanyan: "If Armenia discloses details of talks on Nagorno
Garabagh, it will do harm to negotiation process"
26 December 2007 [12:33] – Today.Az
"At present we can not disclose documents, because if we do it,
considering internal political problems, it will do harm to the
negotiation process", Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan said.
He noted that the role of the Garabagh problem, as an internal
political factor of Armenia, will increase during the election
campaign in the country.
He said some signs of it are already observed, as political powers,
especially the opposition and the first president of Armenia Levon
Ter-Petrosyan, use it for speculation.
At the same time, he pointed out the groundlessness of such efforts.
He noted that the said political powers are not in possession of
complete information about the negotiation process, but continue to
insist that there are no differences between what Ter-Petrosyan was
trying to do ten years ago and what is being done today.
"I can say that the difference really exist. These are completely
different documents and it is senseless to compare them", the Foreign
Minister of Armenian said.
He noted that at first the political status of Garabagh was not even
mentioned, while now the self-determination of the Nagorno-Garabagh
residents is a basic issue of the negotiation process.
