THE RNK STRONG POSITION IS JUSTIFIED

February 24,2006 00:00

The
DPA leader Aram G. Sargsian thinks.As it was expected the political, military
circles and societies both in Armenia and Karabakh discuss actively the RNK President
Arcady Ghukasian’s declaration that the negotiations of the NK conflict settlement
without Karabkh participation weren’t effective and the only way of Karabakh participation
was the refusal of Armenia from the negotiations with Azerbaijan. A. Ghukasian
didn’t also exclude that if Azerbaijan continued refusing any concession the NK
leadership might raise the question of recognizing Karabkh independence by Armenia."I
want to welcome the RNK President Arcady Ghukasian’s position,"- the deputy
of NA "Justice" group, DPA leader Aram G. Sargsian. By his remarks "The
RNK leader must express his opinion just in this way because the negotiation process
if it can be called so will start only from that moment when the NK representatives
are included there when working groups of settling the conflict are formed with
their participation".The DPA leader was also satisfied with Ghukasian’s
declaration for the reason that he raises those two principles on which the "In
Favor Nagorno Karabakh organization committee" has affirmed for many years
in his adopted resolution. That is, Armenia must refuse of negotiating till the
format stressed in Budapest summit would be restored /according to it the NK was
recognized as a negotiation party-N.M./, second, the RA is obliged to recognize
the RNK legal and juridical formation as an independent element from Azerbaijan.But
the DPA leader was sure that A. Ghukasian’s declaration wasn’t agreed with Armenia,
it was a free step the reasons of which I can guess. The point is that A. Ghukasian
was alluding for some years that negotiations couldn’t be effective without NK.
Alluding to it he also was expecting that Armenia would insist on the NK participation
or would refuse of negotiating without NK. Those allusions weren’t understood
in Armenia", – A. Sargsian affirmed. By his words it became clear for the
NK leadership that proposed ways of settlement beginning from Key West to Rambuye
"negotiations", which weren’t profitable for Armenia weren’t adopted
exclusively by the leadership of Azerbaijan. The latter has always demanded to
settle the conflict round territorial integrity while the RA authorities haven’t
principally been against those proposals."Marking that situation the
NK authorities adopted a very strong position understanding that otherwise the
principles of settlement will be agreed without them. V. Oskanian says when we
come to an agreement round the principles then the NK will take part in the negotiations.
But there is a question, if you agree the principles what will the NK negotiate
about?"- the head of the party asked.He is sure that discrepancies between
the NK and RA leadership are serious, deep and principle. These discrepancies
caused the resignation of Levon Ter-Petrosian in 1998 and changeover of political
powers. Is it possible that the same scenario will have the same development now?
By A. Sargsian’s words it is quite possible; "The NK conflict is the problem
which can cause a changeover of political powers. I consider that such a position
of the NK conflict can lead to such a situation, which was in ’98 of February.
On this occasion it isn’t excluded that those political powers, which consider
themselves as pursuers of national problems, must be unified round this problem.
At least two parties of the coalition are simply obliged to produce their position
in this. The opposition will do the same. If it is no, there will be discrepancies
again which can lead to such interpolitical conflict, the settlement of which
will be the same as it was in 1998".Naira Mamikonian
