NO CLOSED ISSUES ADMISSIBLE IN KARABAKH PEACE TALKS
- Karabakh settlement is a complicated process, containing wrinkled moments. All variants under consideration allow for compromise, hence the result cannot be 100% acceptable for either of parties, NKR second President Arkasy Ghukasyan announced in Stepanakert. “The process still continues, and I am sure that we have all chances to reach our goals. There are all objective and subjective grounds for that,” NKR ex-President stated. With regard to possibility of handing over territories, Ghukasyan said the issue has been circulating for 18 years, since Karabakh’s gaining independence. “That will be a permanently discussed issue not to be avoided by any President. But if negotiations do not focus on the return of certain territories, Baku will declare of its intention to renounce talks. We in turn state that if NKR status is under consideration, negotiations will be conducted by us,” a PanARMENIAN.Net correspondent quotes NKR ex-President as saying. RA second President Robert Kocharyan who is visiting Stepanakert refused to answer journalists’ questions.
