Armenian politician: "Nagorno Karabakh lost the status of an equal party in the conflict due to Robert Kocharyan's policy"

He said the first moment is that despite the decision of the OSCE Budapest forum of 1994, "Nagorno Karabakh" lost the status of an equal party of the conflict in the result of the 10 year policy of President Robert Kocharyan.

"Nagorno karabakh has been formally excluded from the negotiation process", noted he.

The second moment, he says, is the violation of order and method of work of the co-chairmanship of the OSCE Minsk Group.

He said though the new document does not fix the priority of the principle of the territorial integrity, it refers to Madrid proposals, which attempt to harmonize principles of the territorial integrity and the right of nations for self-determination.

He reminded that the Madrid principles contain the demand to return the lands and fix the indefinite term of the possible conduction of a referendum in "Nagorno Karabakh".
