N. Rizhkov: `In case of armed settlement, we’re not going to sit and
look at it.’

Inter-parliamentary committee of Armenian-Russian cooperation kicked
off its 19th meeting in Armenian National Assembly and discussed the
agenda of next, the 20th meeting. Traditionally, Armenian and Russian
deputies meet twice a year in spring in Moscow and at fall in Yerevan.

The co-chair of the committee and member of Russian Federative Council
Nikolay Rizhkov told the reporters that the resolution of NK conflict
has as well been highlighted and supposed to be discussed based on the
remarks and information provided by Armenian and Russian Foreign
Ministries. `The next meeting is issued in April of 2011in Yaroslav
and we’ll have this issues discussed there.’

Russian politician stated they are alarmed by the issue, hence can’t
be indifferent to the negotiations. Though they (deputies) have little
role there, since the issue is focused by international institutions,
still the two parliaments can’t ignore the conflict and have
discussion over it.

It the issue is negatively developed till the next meeting: `We are
not going to sit and look at it.’
N. Rizhkov said the conflict is moving to deadlock and it’s hard to
find any way out of it.
