Armenian and Azeri Presidents
23.11.2006 16:40 GMT+04:00

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `Many analysts believe that if
mediators (the OSCE MG) manage to make Armenian and
Azeri Presidents sit down at the bargaining table, it
will signal that a certain common mode of conflict
settlement was already found by two FMs,’ the
Nezavisimaya Gazeta writes. `A ready and specific
document is on the bargaining table now, the newspaper
writes. According to a source in diplomatic circles,
the basic items of the framework agreement provide for
the following steps: Armenia withdraws troops from
Azeri territories under its control, refugees return
to the places of their permanent residence, diplomatic
and economic relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan
normalize, peacekeeping forces are stations in the
conflict region, international economic assistance is
provided to Nagorno Karabakh and a referendum is held
over the NK status,’ says the article. `The Armenian
party is expected to withdraw troops from 7 occupied
regions of Azerbaijan. In exchange Baku will provide a
40-km corridor, joining NK with Armenia that will be
controlled by the peacekeeping forces. The Presidents,
upon whom the OSCE MG co-chairs put strong pressure,
will answer whether this option suits Yerevan and
Baku,’ writes the NG.

Emil Lazarian: “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
