There will be no progress unless Karabakh joins talks

PanARMENIAN.Net - Any negotiation process has two constituents - maintenance of peace and provisions of settlement, said Shavarsh Kocharian, head of National Democratic Party of Armenia.



"There will be no progress unless Karabakh joins the talks," he said during Yerevan-Moscow-Baku TV space bridge.



"Even if we view independence in the light of international law, as Azerbaijan proposes, I would like to remind that Nagorno Karabakh's independence was proclaimed in the framework of USSR operating legislation in 1991. Seven regions Azerbaijan is talking about form the territory of Nagorno Karabakh and security zone," Mr Kocharian said adding that all disputable issues should be addressed to the leadership of Karabakh, the principal party to conflict.
