September 22, 2004 - 23:00 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - "One cannot intimidate or disturb Armenia with statements that it remains aside regional oil, gas and transport projects," head of the Foreign Ministry of Armenia Vardan Oskanian stated in Yerevan today. "Nagorno Karabakh does not have a price and is not subject to bargain, thus we do not accept the argument that by protecting its interests the Armenian party loses the opportunity to participate in regional projects," the Minister noted. "We never connected the Nagorno Karabakh problem with regional projects and we are not going to do it in the future," V. Oskanian noted.
