It's currently at a deadlock because of Azerbaijan," Heritage Faction representative, MP Stepan Safaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter."Conflict settlement will enter a new phase, as 2 of 3 Co-Chairs will be replaced. New mediators will need time to apply reviewed principles. Therefore, no aggravations in internal policy are to be expected around NKR issue," Safaryan emphasized.
