The Madrid Principles can serve as a basis for the settlement of the
Karabakh conflict, member of the political board of the Republic Party
Suren Surenyants told a press conference today. Those are acceptable
to the party as principles of settlement with certain reservations.
The Republic Party stands for a swift resolution of the issue.
According to Surentyants, the latest joint statement by the leaders
of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries does not include anything
new: discussions focus on the same principles that have been known
for a year and a half. He considers that at this point the positions
of the co-chairs countries are quite close, which could accelerate
the settlement of the issue and transfer it to the final stage.
Predicting the future developments, representative of the Republic
Party said: "Both Armenia and Azerbaijan will seek to sign a framework
agreement or a peace treaty. The coordination of the positions of the
co-chairs countries will lead to certain formalization in the Karabakh
process and signing of a document at the beginning of the next year.
