OSCE MG Foreign Ministers’ statement on NKR conflict resolution made in Athens, Dec. 1-2 is a concession by Armenia, RA People’s Party member Grigor Harutyunyan told NEWS.am.

“I personally assisted ANC statement, saying that for the first time Armenia had signed a pentalateral document mentioning Azerbaijani territorial integrity. This means no matter how high self-governing status given to Nagorno-Karabakh will be, it will still be exercised within the frames of Azerbaijani territorial integrity,” he stated.

Asked about his opinion on Azerbaijani territorial integrity provision in OSCE Lisbon Treaty draft (1997), that entailed strong response in Armenia and NKR, however currently this tendency is no more noted, Harutyunyan replied that it never turned into state paper in Lisbon, as Armenia imposed veto. “Presently, there is no public opposing to these documents, as it is brought to a terrifying state and does not struggle. After March 1 events, this indifference is natural,” Harutyunyan outlined.

As for Karabakhi people’s indifference, he maintained that they are unaware of the negotiation process, as get information from official sources only.

“Karabakhi authorities solve their personal issues and are unwilling to oppose Armenian authorities. One of the possible outs of this situation is NKR authorities’ vigor to state they ban Armenian authorities to conduct negotiations on their behalf and not accept Athens’ document. Unfortunately, they are yet to come to this,” Harutyunyan concluded.
