UN GA can lead Karabakh process to collapseMarch 18, 2008 - 13:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly can cause a crack in the Karabakh process, Armenia's Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian told Kentron TV Channel."The talks may collapse if Azerbaijan keeps on pushing forth the provisions of the resolution. In this case, the absence of common grounds will drive Armenia out of the process and Azerbaijan will have to hold talks immediately with Stepanakert," the Minister said. "The OSCE MG proposals on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement have nothing in common with the resolution adopted by the UN General Assembly. The draft resolution was put on the UN GA agenda two years ago. During this time the mediators succeeded in convincing Azerbaijan of inadvisability of the measure that could be supported by two dozens of Islamic states only," he said. According to the Minister, the Kosovo issue and to some extent Armenia's domestic situation whipped Azerbaijan up. "However, the Armenian side has numerously stated that Kosovo will not set a precedent for Karabakh," he said.
