Karabakh talks shouldn't be stopped during election period

PanARMENIAN.Net - "It would be interesting to know the results of the talks new Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan will hold on the issues under discussion," said Dennis Sammut, Executive Director of LINKS.



Karabakh talks should not be stooped for the period of elections. "Everyone in Baku and Yerevan knows that the problem unites the society. On the whole, leadership and opposition both in Armenia and Azerbaijan do not differ on the Karabakh problem. I do not rule out that election campaigns will suspend the settlement process but the presidential hopefuls have programs which can really encourage talks. In my opinion, the candidates should assure their voters that they feel responsibility for the Karabakh process. I hope that this year will not be just waste of time," Mr Sammut said, Day.az reports.
