Karabakh problem emerged as result of false parityNovember 1, 2010 - 12:46 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Some negative coloring appeared in the wording of the OSCE Minsk Group, a member of ARF Bureau said. “The international mediators use different names when referring to one and the same place, for example, Stepanakert/Khankendi,” Vahan Hovhannisyan told reporters on November 1. “It would be correct if the Armenian side demanded to use Berdzor along with Lachin, or Kelbajar/Karavachar,” he noted. “The Karabakh conflict burst out as a result of false parity, which emerged in the soviet times and is now exercised by international organizations. In an attempt to maintain this so-called parity, double standards are being used, what is inadmissible,” Hovhannisyan said.
