"Oil and gas will remain the priorities in the resolution of the
Karabakh issue", considers Avet Adonts, chairman of the permanent
commission of the Armenian parliament on the issues of European
integration.

"Though the national right for self-determination is becoming more
recognized by the world society, oil dollars and revenues from the sale
of oil and gas of Azerbaijan will remain priorities in this issue",
said he.

According to Adonts, if the principles, worked out in the process
of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, remain on the negotiation table
after presidential eelctions in Azerbaijan, the progress in talks
will be fixed.

The parliamentarian noted that preparation of the population for
possible compromises in the conflict settlement has been carried out
in Armenia through the past years, while Azerbaijani side and powers
continued making "aggressive and bellicose statements".

"If a party is preparing for a conflict resolution, it should primarily
prepare the public opinion and then agree for compromises", said he.
