/PanARMENIAN.Net/ There is a convergence between Washington and Moscow
in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict and the possibility
that the conflict could become a subject of haggling has increased,
Vartan Oskanian, the ex-Minister for Foreign Affairs of Armenia
said at the pan-Armenian conference on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and
Armenian-Turkish relations, PanARMENIAN.Net reports from Stepanakert.

According to Oskanian, Russia, USA and the EU are interested in opening
of the Armenian-Turkish border. "But they all are perfectly aware
that the border will be opened only while solving the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict," ex-Foreign Minister of Armenia emphasized.

He also recalled Maindorf declaration, signed by the Presidents of
Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia on November 2, 2008 in Moscow. "The
declaration has a provision under which the conflict must be resolved
on the basis of international organizations’ resolutions. But none of
those resolutions is based on the interests of the Armenian people,
" Mr. Oskanian said.

“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
