Karabakh problem emerged as result of false parity

Some negative coloring appeared in the wording of the OSCE Minsk Group, a member of ARF Bureau said.

“The international mediators use different names when referring to one and the same place, for example, Stepanakert/Khankendi,” Vahan Hovhannisyan told reporters on November 1.

“It would be correct if the Armenian side demanded to use Berdzor along with Lachin, or Kelbajar/Karavachar,” he noted.

“The Karabakh conflict burst out as a result of false parity, which emerged in the soviet times and is now exercised by international organizations. In an attempt to maintain this so-called parity, double standards are being used, what is inadmissible,” Hovhannisyan said.
