YEREVAN, July 4. /ARKA/. Armenia is not empowered to negotiate on behalf of Karabakh, Armenian Democratic Party leader Aram Sargssyan said Monday at a press conference presenting results of the 8th round of Dartmouth Conference on Regional Conflicts. In his words, Armenia has no right to hold negotiations for two reasons. First, Armenia hasn’t officially recognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s independence and the second, has not declared that NKR is Armenia’s integral part. “Taking into account that, Armenia has to refuse to hold negotiations and give this right to NKR”, he said.
In his opinion, Nagorno-Karabakh should be given back the right to defend its interests. “That would be a right step, especially considering the fact that, unlike Armenia’s leadership, NKR’s authorities are free from corruption burden”, the party leader said.
Sargssyan thinks that stable peace can’t be reached in the region without public accord.
The Regional Conflicts working group of Dartmouth Conference was created in 1982. Representatives of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Nagorno Karabakh have held eight joint meetings with American and Russian members of the group since October 2001. The aim of the long-term dialogue is to find approaches to start peace process for putting an end to the conflict.
