Larisa Alaverdyan: Karabakh talks will produce no result in near future

PanARMENIAN.Net - Signing the first document on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Armenia accepted that NKR is a part of Azerbaijan, according to Larisa Alaverdyan, member of Heritage parliamentary group.

“Due to this blunder, NKR was mentioned a part of Azerbaijan in all other documents, including the Bishkek ceasefire agreement, though it records Arstakh as a party to conflict. Armenia provoked exclusion of NKR from talks,” Mrs. Alaverdyan told reporters on May 12.

As to the activity of the OSCE Minsk Group, she said the only achievement of this structure is maintenance of ceasefire. “I think no breakthrough can be expected in the near future. The basis of the current negotiation process excludes resolution of the conflict,” the Armenian MP said.

The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan

The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out as result of the ethnic cleansing launched by the Azeri authorities in the final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 (when the Nagorno Karabakh Republic was proclaimed) to 1994 (when a ceasefire was sealed by Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan). Most of Nagorno Karabakh and a security zone consisting of 7 regions are now under control of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
