/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Karabakh settlement process has reached a crucial
point in which all parties preferred to keep silent, taking technical
measures to find a way out," "Heritage" faction MP Stepan Safaryan told
a news conference in Yerevan. Safaryan finds the publication of Basic
Principles as US President and Minsk Group’s first step towards forcing
both conflicting parties to abide by the agreements reached so far.
"OSCE MG also took concrete steps in relation to Turkey, announcing
that Armenian-Turkish rapprochement and Karabakh settlement should
be parallel processes," the speaker said, stressing that Minsk Group
prevented Azerbaijan from settling NKR conflict in favor of Azerbaijan.
"Turkey feels confused as OSCE MG interfered in its efforts to help
Baku in Karabakh settlement process," Safaryan said.
"Heritage" parliamentarian does not predict special changes in conflict
settlement process this autumn, as he believes focus will be shifted
on Armenian-Turkish ties normalization process.
Besides, he finds, that Turkey is facing a serious dilemma between
opening borders with Armenia and allowing US Congress to recognize
Armenian Genocide. According to him, the country would rather choose
the former option, avoiding the latter.
