STEPANAKERT. – Status-quo is the only acceptable option in the Karabakh peace process, Karabakh (Artsakh) MP Vahram Atanesyan said during the international conference held in Stepanakert.

According to Atanesyan, OSCE Minsk Group mediators are trying to condition unsettlement of the Karabakh conflict with preventing the South Caucasus from European integration. However, the statement is not serious and even groundless.

He stressed that Nagorno-Karabakh and Azerbaijan are incompatible.

Nagorno-Karabakh has passed 20 years of independence, Avetisyan stressed adding that key issue is its development. In case of external intervention, three will be no alternative to recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh.
