YEREVAN.- No crucial movement was registered in the Karabakh peace process in 2012, Voce Chairman of Heritage Party Armen Martirosyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

It is conditioned by the level of readiness of the parties and international community to recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh’s independence, he said.

“At the moment, neither Armenia, nor Azerbaijan or international community is expressing willingness,” he emphasized.

Martirosyan is confident no changes in the peace process should be expected prior to the 2013 presidential elections in Armenia and Azerbaijan. After the election, parties to the conflict will try to budge the talks but one should not expect significant results.
