Suspension of Talks on Karabakh Problem Will Be Worst ScenarioMarch 3, 2006 - 14:23 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The suspension of talks on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement will the worst scenario. But the Armenian party should be ready for such development as well, Armenian President Robert Kocharian stated in an interview with the leading Armenian and Nagorno Karabakh TV Channels. "I would not like to go into details of such scenario in the context of some tactic failures. We failed in Rambouillet, but there are still chances. However if Azerbaijan says "time works for us, we strengthen our army and will settle the problem by force", our steps will be as follows: first, it will be the recognition de jure of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic by the Republic of Armenia. Second, it will be the legal formulation of Armenia's responsibility for the security of NKR people, that is signing of a number of agreements meaning that any encroachment upon Karabakh is an encroachment upon Armenia. Third, it will be a complex strengthening of the security belt around Nagorno Karabakh by completely new means. I wouldn't like to into detail here. Certainly, a more active integration should start in the defense sector and economy development. Realizing this we should work at reforms and secure economic growth. The Armenian people have the potential for all this," the Armenian President resumed.
