Armenian foreign minister Vartan Oskanyan told a press conference today
that the principles outlined in the document are mainly acceptable
for the Armenia side, speaking about the document recently made public
by OSCE co-chairs.
However, he and the Armenian leadership do not think this is the best
and ideal document. This is just a compromise version, he says and
Armenia has clearly stated its disposition to it. "We think that the
terms are comprehensive, balanced and a right formula of compromise
is found. It can serve as a good base for negotiations," Oskanyan
said. He also said they are not going to work on public opinion to
accept the formula unless Azerbaijan also accepts the document.
Minister Oskanyan said the fact that the document is made public
is not a surprise for him. The co-chairs have agreed to open the
document. Oskanyan believes there will be some in Armenia who will
not accept such a resolution of the conflict./Panorama.am/
