Karen Bekaryan says soon new package of NK conflict settlement will come forth

YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 1, ARMENPRESS:

Soon a new package of solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict may come forth where Stepanakert-Baku negotiations will be the most important, political analyst Karen Bekaryan said adding that Stepanakert-Baku dialogue is a logical continuation of negotiations.

Referring to the 20th anniversary of declaration of independence of Nagorno Karabakh, the political analyst pointed out that currently a number of circumstances are important for the development of the second Armenian state. These circumstances are process of negotiations, NK state building, international environment, RA-NKR cooperation.

Analyzing the previous phases of the peace talks, the political analyst particularly highlighted the "General State" package, pointing out that refusing it and stating that it is ready to grant highest autonomy to Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan showed that it is telling lies.

Speaking about state building issues Karen Bekaryan noted that it is on higher level in the NK than in many states recognized by the UN.

"There are also changes in the international environment", the political analyst said, taking into consideration the independence of a number of states, which proved that there are changes in respect of right to self-determination in the world. As to the RA-NKR partnership the political analyst said that Armenia's position here is quite clear – Armenia will recognize Nagorno Karabakh if Azerbaijan starts war. It was stated by the President of the Republic.
