THREE DIRECTIONS FOR KARABAKH
Support A1+!“I welcome NKR President Arkadi Ghoukasyan’s intention to run for the presidency for the third term”, Arthur Baghdasaryan, leader of the OYP announced today in the Friday Club. In his opinion Arkadi Ghoukasyan’s decision is vital for the future well-being of the NKR and international community.
Caspian-Caucasian International Commission will conduct missions in the NKR, Abkhazia, and South Osetia in 2007. On February 12-13 the commission convened its first sitting in Brussels. The key issue of the discussion was the relationship of Caspian-Caucasian region with the European countries. The sitting was attended by Arthur Baghdasaryan.
The leader of the OYP focused on three directions on the NKR issue. First of all, he underlines the necessity of establishing democracy in the NKR. Secondly, the NKR authorities must implement the EU neighborhood action plan unilaterally. And finally, NKR must gradually be involved in the negotiation procedure. “Peter Semneby, EU Special Representative for the South Caucasus will visit the NKR in close future.”
The regional visits of Mr. Semneby and the commission testify to the fact that the NKR status has increased which is an important factor during the negotiation process”, Mr. Baghdasaryan maintains. Then he reminded the stance of the OYP on the Karabakh issue; the conflict must be settled via compromises.
