Armenian vice-speaker: "Outside countries seeking Karabakh mediation"

Such attempts have been particularly made by Great Britain, but other countries and their parliaments offering assistance in this respect have also become active, Vaan Ovannisian told a news conference in Yerevan on Monday, AssA-Irada informs.

"If peace talks are not carried out under the auspices of the three Minsk Group co-chairs [from the United States, Russia and France], the activity will begin in different directions and on parliamentary level in particular," the vice-speaker said, noting that the NATO Parliamentary Assembly is taking interest in the issue.

Ovannisian said that if the Karabakh conflict is tabled in other organizations, "the success for Armenia should not be expected to come easy".

"With other entities getting involved, we will have to start from a scratch," he said.
