/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `For many years I have been learning that the sides
are very close to the solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,
beginning from Key West, where unfortunately, the long-expected
conciliation and resolution of this problem was buried. Today again we
hear various rumors and talks as if the sides are close to adopting a
coordinated position on Nagorno Karabakh,’ President of the Union of
Armenians of Russia (UAR) Ara Abramian stated. The President of UAR is
skeptical about the possibility to settle this problem in the near
future. `As far as I can judge from Azeri press and statements of
Azeri officials, they only want to see Karabakh as a de jure part of
Azerbaijan. Moreover, from time to time they threaten with military
operations to forcefully resolve the problem, leaving aside the
negotiation mechanism. Already today Azerbaijan refuses to settle the
status of Nagorno Karabakh. And of course, I am seriously concerned
over this like many other Armenians,’ he underlined.
Ara Abramian said, this fall UAR is going to hold an international
conference in Armenian on the issue of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement. `In the framework of this conference we’d like to
familiarize ourselves with the opinion of Armenian MFA in detail, as
well as leading experts of various countries. We are going to exchange
opinions during the conference concerning the solution of the problem
aimed at turning the region from confrontation into arena of
cooperation and good neighborhood,’ Ara Abramian underscored, `Azg’
