Vardan Oskanyan presents EU his compromise proposal

19 April 2006 [01:04] - TODAY.AZ
Armenian Foreign Minister, Vardan Oskanyan told April 18 in Yerevan: "Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan have failed to reach the agreement in France, however, we don't think that the meeting itself was failure."

As Trend reports, Oskanyan reminded that the Rambouillet talks had been held on the basis of the existing progress achieved in the course of 2005.

Oskanyan noted that considering previously achieved agreements and activity of mediators there are possibilities to hope for the progress in the negotiating process.

If previously Yerevan announced that it would discuss the problems of the conflict consequences only after the political status of Nagorno Karabakh to be defined, now Armenia is doing "serious compromise" and follows different position.

"If Azerbaijan agrees with the fact that Nagorno Karabakh people have right for self-definition, which might be implemented not necessarily now but in the future, then Armenian side is ready to discuss the settling down of the conflict consequences – territory, refuges and other security matters," Oskanyan said.
