"The Moscow declaration on the peaceful resolution of the Karabakh
conflict has two moments, which cause serious concerns", said member
of the political board of the Respublika opposition party Suren
Surenyants.
He said the first moment is that despite the decision of the OSCE
Budapest forum of 1994, "Nagorno Karabakh" lost the status of an
equal party of the conflict in the result of the 10 year policy of
President Robert Kocharyan.
"Nagorno karabakh has been formally excluded from the negotiation
process", noted he.
The second moment, he says, is the violation of order and method of
work of the co-chairmanship of the OSCE Minsk Group.
He said though the new document does not fix the priority of the
principle of the territorial integrity, it refers to Madrid proposals,
which attempt to harmonize principles of the territorial integrity
and the right of nations for self-determination.
He reminded that the Madrid principles contain the demand to return
the lands and fix the indefinite term of the possible conduction of
a referendum in "Nagorno Karabakh".
