Armenian oppositionist: "Karabakh conflict may be settled in December of this year"

"The process of the resolution of the Karabakh problem is in the active phase of development, which is proven by signing a declaration in Moscow, frequent visits of the mediators in the region, diplomatic contacts and unprecedented number of appeals", he told a press conference Tuesday.

According to Zurabyan, the most important thing in the negotiation process is coordination of the resolution principles, while the further works are of technical nature.

At the same time, the Armenian National Congress is concerned by some points around the negotiations process, he said though refusing to elaborate on the moments implied.

"We have a number of demands and in case they are not executed, the resolution of the Karabakh conflict can not be profitable for us", he said.

Zurabyan considers that the political crisis, established in Armenia after the March events, may create serious obstacles in the negotiation process.

He said to attain results, the Armenian powers must gain trust of the population, while "the working administration, having no legitimacy, does not do anything to overcome the gap, existing between it and the population".

"For this purpose, the regime must stop the cases of all 75 political prisoners and cancel illegal sentences and liberate them, which is demanded by the international structures", noted he.

According to him, "by not settling these issues, the powers will prove that they are not able to think politically and are not aware of the importance of the Karabakh issue resolution".

"The continuation of this policy is threatening with the deterioration of the national unity and spirit, which are important in the decisive talks on Karabakh conflict", considers Zurabyan.
