DEMIRCHYAN IS MUCH CONCERNED

Leader of the People’s Party of Armenia (HZhK) Stepan Demirchyan thinks the Armenian side has considerably weakened its stance in the negotiations of the Karabakh conflict settlement. Armenia should exert diplomatic efforts to fully involve Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in the talks.
The Moscow declaration reconfirmed that the conflict should be settled in the realms of the Minsk Group with peaceful means, stressed Demirchyan. The HZhK Leader is concerned that the settlement is being reached on the basis of the Madrid principles.
“We have announced many times that the conflict cannot be resolved without Karabakh's involvement in the talks. The Madrid principles are worrying unless they are deciphered. But the information we possess at present is rather concerning,” noted Demirchyan.
As to the opposition's alleged recess in connection to the Karabakh conflict, Stepan Demirchyan said “the opposition is not going to become an observer, and in case of dangerous developments it will spell out its stance.”
He cited a decelration privision under which the Karabakh conflict must be settled in the framework of international documents.
“In particular, I would like to mention the CoE document which is not favourable for Armenia and speaks for the surrender of territories. We don't endorse the idea of unilateral concessions,” said HZhK Leader adding that the conflict will hardly be settled in the coming two months.
Stepan Demirchyan doesn't confine much confidence in the fact-finding mission looking into the events of March 1-2. The group was to rely on the law, underline the HZhK Leader. The opposition hasn't gone underground: they will organise new rallies and pose their demands starting from freedom to political prisoners to the conduct of free and fair elections in the country.
