ArmInfo. Karabakh conflict has always had an important part in the
domestic political life of Armenia. However, during the present
presidential campaign the interest in this problem has increased due
to the participation of the former authorities in the presidential
race, Chairman of the National Democratic party Shavarsh Kocharyan
said at Pastark Club, Thursday.
He explained that defeatist sentiments in Karabakh conflict settlement
have always been characteristic to the former authorities. Before
Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s participation in the election, a definite
consensus had been achieved on Karabakh issue, which has been now
broken. That is why the Karabakh conflict has been highlighted during
the presidential race, Shavarsh Kocharyan said.
