Armenian authorities take political risk

PanARMENIAN.Net - "We are concerned that agreements signed do not contain any statement on the principles of territorial integrity and nations' right to self-determination," ARFD Youth Wing member Arthur Kazaryan told today a joint press conference with activists representing the youth sectors of Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), "Heritage" and Armenian National Congress.



The wording of Protocols arouses concerns, and Armenian authorities take a political risk which has very dim prospects.



In that connection, "Heritage" party representatice Robert Kadaryan noted that a clause on territorial integrity would imply recognizing the prevalence of that principle over nations' right to self-determination in regional conflicts. "Under the documents signed, Armenia and Turkey commit themselves to settling regional conflicts. In that way, we involve Turkey in Karabakh conflict settlement ," Kadaryan stressed.



RPA Youth wing representative Edgar Hovhanisyan disagreed to the above position, considering that Karabakh issue is dealt with by Minsk Group, so Turkey cannot be involved in peace process.



Answering journalists' question as to what prevented opposition parties from cooperating in the sphere, Kazaryan said that ARFD was ready for cooperation and had already made a proposal for creating a national fund. ANC and Heritage representatives also expressed willingness to cooperate.
