  Vahan Hovhannisyan: return of even two regions unacceptable for Armenia April 19, 2010 - 16:11 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Former Armenian President Robert Kocharian never quitted big politics, so speaking of his return would be just poor wording, ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group leader Vahan Hovhannisyan stated, when commenting on a possible return of the second Armenian President to political activity. As he told a news conference in Yerevan, a question on Kocharian’s return in the system of state governance would sound more relevant; still, he said, the issue is not yet on the agenda. Dwelling on Karabakh conflict settlement, he noted that return of even two regions will be unacceptable to Armenia. “The amount of territory yielded is not principal in case of one-sided concession,” Mr. Hovhannisyan stated. “The issue of concessions can’t be brought up until Karabakh status is determined,” he said.    The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out as result of the ethnic cleansing launched by the Azeri authorities in the final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 (when the Nagorno Karabakh Republic was proclaimed) to 1994 (when a ceasefire was sealed by Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan). Most of Nagorno Karabakh and a security zone consisting of 7 regions are now under control of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
