Nobody Has Right to Manipulate Karabakh Issue
The talks on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be continued in 2007, said Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian in Yerevan to a press conference. In his words, since parliamentary elections will be held next year in Armenia the intensity of the negotiations will decrease and they will be carried out in more closed way. At the same time the head of MFA underscored that in any case the Karabakh issue cannot be a subject of speculations in electoral campaign. "The Karabakh issue is so serious for the Armenian nation that neither the authorities nor the opposition have the right to manipulate it. It is a great danger. And it is unacceptable when the oppositions makes statements going against the policy of the authorities," Oskanian said.
