/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Some progress was fixed in the Karabakh peaceful
process during the recent years, Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan
Oskanian said.
`Armenia’s policy is neither defensive nor aggressive. It’s
remarkable that the right of Karabakhi people to self-determination is
fixed in the present package of proposals. It’s an item we could only
dream about some 10 years ago. The OSCE Minsk Group and other
international structures aware of the core of the problem put
difference between the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and other conflicts,’
the Minister said.
`The document on the table is the result of efforts applied by the
sides. There are still uncoordinated issues and that is why the
mediators resort to shuttle diplomacy. We have numerously stated that
OSCE MG latest package of proposals provides a good opportunity for
Karabakh resolution. It contains balanced principles that should be
carried to logical completion,’ he said.
The Minister noted that the visit of mediators in 2008 will determine
the trend of further talks. `In the framework of the negotiations we
established normal relations with Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov,
since normal relations are essential for efficient talks,’ Mr Oskanian
said in an interview with Shant TV Channel.
