These are the words of President of Christian-Democratic party Khosrov
Haroutyunyan after the debates with President of Armenian Marxian
party David Hakobyan in “Hayeli” club. By the way, Mr.

Hakobyan predicted this disappointment: “Unfortunately, everyone
rejected our invitation. And I welcome our ex Prime Minister who
accepted the invitation to debates.” And the topic of the debates
was Karabakh issue. For the leader of Christian Democratic Party the
result of the negotiations in Rambouillet was unpredictable. “All in
all Rambouillet proved that one of the sides was not ready to serious
talks,” he added. And that side was Azerbaijan that tries to influence
on the international community by its bellicose announcements. The
Republic’s chief Marxist brought down “merely cardio physiological
ideas” to political stage, i.e. either everything or nothing. Thus
he concluded: “Rambouillet once again proved that fact.”

Later he introduced their variant of Karabakh issue regulation
suggested in 2001. The leader of the Christian Democrats doesn’t
agree with the statement that the strategy of Armenian diplomats
was defeatist.

The latter insists that 2006 is a favorable period to solve Karabakh
issue because as he says: “The choice between the bad and the worst
can be made in this very period.” Thus, unlike leader of Christian
Democrats the chief Marxist thinks that the antagonism will be
regulated only in the times of the 3rd public and under the 3rd
president elected by the people and from the people. “I’m saying
all this for historical generations. The territorial compromise
is impossible.”

The two ideological opponents left the club offended and without the
traditional handshake. /Panorama.am/
