VARDAN OSKANYAN PRESENTS EU HIS COMPROMISE PROPOSAL
Author: Z. Ibrahimli

TREND Information, Azerbaijan
April 18 2006

The Armenian foreign minister, Vardan Oskanyan told on April 18 in
Yerevan: “presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan have failed to reach the
agreement in Rambuy, however, we don’t think that the meeting itself
was a failure.” Speaking today at the commission of the parliamentary
cooperation Armenia- EU in Yerevan, Osknayan said that “misfit in
Rambuy does not mean the failure of the whole negotiating process,”
Trend reports, citing Mediamax agency. He reminded that the Rambuy
meeting has been held on the basis of the existing progress achieved
in the course of 2005.

Oskanyan noted that considering previously achieved agreements and
activity of mediators there are possibilities to hope for the progress
in the negotiating process.

If previously Yerevan announced that it will discuss the problems
of the conflict consequences only after the political status of
Nagorno-Karabakh will be defined, now Armenia is doing a ‘serious
compromise’ and follows a different position.

“If Azerbaijan agrees with the fact that Nagorno-Karabakh people have
right for self-definition, which might be implemented not necessarily
now but in the future, then Armenian side is ready to discuss the
settling down of the conflict consequences – territory, refuges and
other security matters,” Oskanyan said.
