"Currently Yerevan and Baku are not holding any consultations for
bringing close the positions of the parties on the settlement of the
Karabakh conflict," RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan declared
today during the joint press conference with the Lebanse Minister
of Foreign Affairs and Emigrants.

RA Foreign Minister did not rile out that the expected visit of the
US Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Matthew Bryza to the region could
bring forward some vividness in the peace process.

"It’s difficult to say, however, whether the American side will come
forth with a new initiative," Vardan Oskanyan said.

"WE have declared a number of times that we consider the mediators’
suggestions acceptable. The document is not ideal, but it includes a
correct combination of concessions. We continue to hope that Azerbaijan
will return to the negotiations table to discuss this suggestion of
the mediators," RA Foreign Minister declared.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
