WE DIDN'T MANAGE TO SETTLE THE KARABAKH CONFLICT IN 2000, ARMENIAN MP SAID

PanARMENIAN.Net - 19.12.2000, MEDIAMAX, YEREVAN. "In 2000 the leadership of the country shifted the accent in the foreign policy on the activation of the process of international recognition of the Armenian Genocide", said the chairman of "Constitutional Right" Union, deputy of the Armenian parliament Hrant Khachatrian in the interview to Mediamax.

However, the deputy stressed, the break in this direction is not concordant with the present developments in Armenia, which "may bring to unforeseen consequences".

Touching upon the perspectives of Karabakh conflict settlement, Khachatrian noted that this process was in a "stagnant" state in the course of 2000. According to the parliamentarian, the talks about the necessity to settle the conflict through mutual compromises prevail today, and this, in his opinion, "draws back the former idea of joining Nagorno Karabakh to Armenia to the second place". -0-
