Official: Authorities make reasonable concession on Karabakh July 13, 2016 - 17:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Deputy chairman of Armenia’s ruling Republican party Armen Ashotyan on Wednesday, July 13 said he is not authorized to speak about compromises in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, but said the authorities are making reasonable concessions. “The Karabakh negotiation process launched 20 years ago, seeking to establish long-term peace in the region,” Ashotyan said, according to Panorama.am. “I don’t think speaking about concessions is the right thing to do. The current ruling authorities and those in the ‘90s and 00s have never questioned the Karabakh people’s right to self-determination and will never do so.” “Several days ago, our President rightly said that even if the whole world joins efforts, it will still fail to force the Karabakh people to live as part of Azerbaijan,” Ashotyan added.
