/PanARMENIAN.Net/ ARF Dashnaktsutyun does not exclude the possibility
of signing an agreement on basic principles for the settlement of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict within the current year, Kiro Manoyan, head
of "Ay Dat" office told a press conference in Yerevan. "The agreement
is unlikely to be signed during the upcoming meeting of the Presidents
of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Moscow, but it can take place within a
year. Signing of the document will be conditioned by Turkey’s pressure,
since Ankara continues to turn the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
into a precondition for normalizing the Armenian-Turkish relations,
" he said.
According Manoyan, after signing an agreement on basic principles
between Yerevan and Baku, it will take another few years to sing
the agreement on the conflict settlement, which is contradicts to
the interests of the Armenian side. "Either the parties must accept
the entire package of proposals, or nothing . ARF Dashnaktsutyun is
against the Madrid principles. We believe that the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict can be resolved only through mutual and equal compromises
", Kiro Manoyan said.
