  Vahan Shirkhanyan: Madrid Principles leading to deadlock June 30, 2010 - 14:13 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - The statement issued by Presidents of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-chair countries has no legal force, stated Vahan Shirkhanyan, Social Democrat Hunchakian Party board member. “Madrid Principles are leading to a deadlock and can’t secure peace in the region,” he told a news conference on June 30. “We don’t need to accelerate the Karabakh process. What we should do is to double efforts for recognition of the Armenian Genocide by Turkey,” Shirkhanyan said. According to him, a new war in the region is unlikely, despite Azerbaijan militarization. Asked about possibility of pre-term presidential elections, Shirkhanyan said that it can happen only if Armenian authorities signs an agreement on Karabakh unfavorable for the Armenian side.
