ONLY RESOLUTION TO KARABAKH CONFLICT STEP-BY-STEP VERSION: MP
ARKA News Agency, Armenia

YEREVAN, June 21. /ARKA/. The only resolution to the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict is the step-by-step version of settlement, member of the
administrative board of the ruling party "Armenian National Movement"
Andranik Hovakimyan reported.
"The incumbent authorities of Armenia have repeatedly declared their
incompetence as to the issue of a settlement to the Nagorno-Karabakh
problem, to which the latest declaration of Armenian Foreign Minister
Vardan Oskanyan that the negotiation process has deadlocked, testify,"
Hovakimyan said.
In this context, Hovakimyan believes that the 1997 version of the
conflict resolution was the most correct and possible, as in case of
its adoption Nagorno-Karabakh could have obtained the international
status of a "disputable territory".
"Armenian authorities are not ready for a resolution to the conflict
at this stage, and the fact that Armenia occupies the last place
in the region in terms of economy plays not a significant role,"
Hovakimyan said.
