ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTER CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT PROGRESS IN KARABAKH PEACE PROCESS
Today the Foreign Minister of Armenia, Vardan Oskanian, stated that Armenia and Azerbaijan could make progress in their efforts to settle the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within this year; and later added, "It was a cautiously optimistic outlook."
Speaking to reporters after meeting with the visiting German foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Oskanian said the current peace plan put forth by international peace brokers from the OSCE Minsk Group, inspires hope, but added there remain several contentious points. "In the long run what concerns the basic conflict resolution principles there is optimism,' he said.
Oskanian said that new window of opportunity for Armenia and Azerbaijan to try to hammer out a peace agreement would emerge after the parliamentary elections in Armenia, May 12. "If the parties and especially the Azerbaijani side show enough political will we may register a serious breakthrough this year,' Oskanian said. He said he could not rule out such progress, but again reiterated it was a very cautious forecast which he said is supported by his more than a decade involvement in the peace talks with Azerbaijan.
"There were moments in the past when the solution to the problem seemed very close, but the things then drastically changed moving to a different direction," he said. The German Minister said that his country, now holding the rotating chairmanship in the European Union, also hopes for progress during this year. He said his impression from meetings in Baku and Yerevan is that both sides look at the framework agreement as a good basis to forge ahead.
