RA Leader: Some Progress Fixed in Karabakh ProcessMarch 3, 2006 - 13:20 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The hopes of the Co-chairs based on the agreements achieved earlier, Armenian President Robert Kocharian stated in an interview with the leading Armenian and Nagorno Karabakh TV Channels. "But there was no big hope to achieve agreement on one item, which created a barrier to the process. That is why I said in Sweden that I treat the meeting with cautious optimism," Robert Kocharian noted. At the same time he underscored that "for the sake of objectivity it should be mentioned that some progress was fixed." "The Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement is so complicated that we can reach agreement for example on 15 principles and fail to agree on one, thus bringing the process to its starting point. Then the whole package should be reconsidered or a solution for this single item should be sought for," the Armenian leader said.
