Dashnaktsutyun skeptical about OSCE MG Co-Chairs' statementsNovember 24, 2009 - 16:19 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - After Azeri president Ilham Aliyev's warlike statement, the RA president-lead Armenian delegation should have refused from meeting in Munich, according to ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group leader Vahan Hovhannesian."Aliyev's ultimatum prevents any possibility of peace talks on Karabakh conflict settlement," he told a news conference in Yerevan. "It put paid to Meindorf Declaration, stipulating for peaceful conflict settlement, whereas Azeri president openly spoke of willingness to use force." "So, Co-Chairs' statements on the progress registered during the negotiations are unreliable," Mr. Hovhannesian concluded.
