Armenian deputy from Dashnaktsitun party: "If we cede at least a centimeter in the Karabakh conflict resolution, we will lose everything"

"The trilateral meeting of the Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia in Moscow may become a new stimulus for the process of talks on the resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict", said member of the parliamentary faction Dashnaktsutun Ara Nranyan.

"Russia's initiative of holding a trilateral meeting does not go beyond the limits of the OSCE Minsk group for Russia is one of the group co-chairs. Similar meetings were held both in the United States and in France at different times. In this aspect the Moscow meeting does not reject the OSCE Minsk Group, but supplies the format and may become a new stimulus for the negotiation process", noted he.

Nranyan said that special attention should be paid to the preparation of the public opinion for the resolution of the Karabakh conflict, as the presidents will not be able to sign a document, which will not be accepted by the country's public.

The parliamentarian noted that the talks and publications in the press regarding readiness to return the controlled lands of Nagorno Karabakh have become frequent.

"It is inadmissible. If we cede at least a centimeter in the resolution process, we will lose everything. Let's recall Serbia, which returned all the lands, settled by Serbians and then Kosovo, without attaining anything. If we do the same, we will lose everything and we will not be able to attain peace by making concessions", said Nranyan.

In turn, secretary of the faction Artyusha Shahbazyan noted that  certain rivalry is observed among the co-chairing states in the negotiation process on the resolution of the conflict.

He noted that the closer the resolution is, the most important is the issue, who of the co-chairs will gain more during the resolution of the confrontation.

"Another issue to be settled: how to build relations with the countries, for unless the Karabakh issue is settled, Armenia and Azerbaijan will depend on the super states in their external policy and especially Azerbaijan", informed Shahbazyan.
