"Armenia should stiffen approaches in the Karabakh conflict settlement.
The due announcement was made by Armenia President Robert Kocharyan,
commenting on the announcement of Azerbaijani Foreign Minister Elmar
Mamedyarov that Azerbaijan had not stiffened its position in the
issue of the Karabakh conflict settlement and it is now Armenia’s turn.
According to the President, Azerbaijan has recently tried to use the
internal political situation in Armenia to influence the negotiation
process on the Karabakh conflict settlement.
Azerbaijan’s such approaches will oblige Armenian side to be more
decisive in the principal issues that naturally any concessions are
impossible", Kocharyan said.
According to the President, it is necessary to respond by way of
stiffening approaches.
"Azerbaijan will naturally try to use such a situation. We should
realize that Armenia’s stability and growth rates will be the best
guarantee of our strong positions in the Karabakh issue", Kocharyan
noted.
