ARMENIAN SPECIAL SERVICES' EX-LEADER CARRIES ON TALKS WITH AZERBAIJAN PART ON KARABAKH PROBLEM SETTLEMENT

PanARMENIAN.Net - As we have already informed, the first stage of the negotiations between Azerbaijan Peace and Democracy Institute director Leyla Yunusova and head of Armenian Center of Legal and Political Researches David Shahnazaryan who is mostly known as «XXI century» political party leader and associate of ex-President Levon Ter-Petrosyan took place in Berlin at the end of October. The objective of the talks, according to the parts, is the development of a plan for the Karabakh conflict settlement. According to Baku press, David Shahnazaryan agreed that the only acceptable way of the conflict settlement is the step-by-step approach. It should be reminded that both Armenia's and Nagorno-Karabakh's leaderships have stated several times that the step-by-step approach that does not provide guarantees necessary for Armenian part is not acceptable. According to Leyla Yunusowa the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan that have the right of the final word will be informed on decisions that will be made at the next stages. It should be noted that the leader of the opposition «XXI century» party has hardly any contacts with the President Kocharyan and it is difficult to believe that the initiatives proposed by him might be discussed seriously by the political leadership of the country.
