Sargsyan will have to change approaches to Karabakh problem, Manoyan saysApril 8, 2008 - 15:56 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - President-elect Serzh Sargsyan will have to change Armenia's approaches to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office Director Kiro Manoyan told a news conference in Yerevan. "Armenia has always been too correct. However, owing to Azerbaijan recent deeds, Armenia should response adequately. Adoption of the Azerbaijani resolution in the UN GA proves that Azerbaijan is not pleased with the MG talks," he said. The OSCE Minsk Group agrees that the Karabakh conflict should be resolved basing on Artsakh's people right to self-determination, according to him. "It means that NKR's status will be determined irrelative of Azerbaijan. Baku is discontent and there are no guarantees that conflict will be resolved peacefully. Consequently, Armenia should toughen its positions and Robert Kocharian's statement on possible recognition of Nagorno Karabakh should be eyed in this aspect," Mr Manoyan said.
