RA PARLIAMENT SPEAKER BELIEVES ARMENIA SHOULD REVIEW ITS POLICY IN
KARABAKH ISSUE
`’The Nagorno-Karabagh talks should be activated”, RA NA Speaker
Tigran Torosian stated in the course of a press conference held in
Yerevan.
In his words, it is time Armenia review its policy in the issue.
`’The Azeri party is much more active, it invests a lot in its
viewpoint’s propaganda. We cannot just sit and wait, as the work will
bear fruit in the end’, Torosian underscored.
As for a report made by the U. S. State Department for Human Rights
for 2006, where the Nagorno-Karabagh and the territories it
controlled were called `’occupied”, Tigran Torosian stated such
formulations were unacceptable for Armenia.
`’The U. S. are co-chair within the frames of OSCE Minsk group for
the Nagorno-Karabagh conflict settlement and render aid to the
Nagorno-Karabagh every year. It all does not accord with the ideas of
the State Department’s report”, Torosian said.
He reminded two principles – territorial integrity and the nation’s
right to self-determination – had been put in the basis of the
conflict’s peaceful settlement. `’If one principle was mentioned in
the report, it would be reasonable to mention the second one – the
right to self-determination – as well”, RA NA Speaker stated,
