There is no need to state that Yerevan agreeing to talks with Baku is the biggest concession by Armenia, Armenian FM Vartan Oskanian stated when answering questions of Azg Daily readers. In his words Armenia taking part in talks and Karabakh's de facto independence for already 15 years show Armenia is ready to compromise option of settlement. As of recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh independence de jure, the Armenian MFA head said, «De jure recognition is a political action. It should be held at the exact moment, if a decision is made to do it so as to have a positive outcome, not a negative effect.»

Answering a question on the probability of the script, in compliance to which Armenia will return territories that form the security belt during the short war, Oskanian said, "No. These theories of plots should not be believed to, one should not trifle with war. I rule out a script like that."
