Levon Ter-Petrosyan’s Interview to the A1+ News Agency

Mr. President, in your speech on 17 October you had promised always to keep the society informed about the developments concerning the resolution of the Karabagh conflict.  Would it be correct to regard the meeting between the presidents of Russia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan – Medvedev, Sargsyan, and Aliyev – as one such development?

First, I have not forgotten my promise.  Moreover, in order to make our conversation more grounded, I would like to remind the readers the appropriate excerpt of the speech: “We are going to witness developments of utmost importance regarding the resolution of the Karabagh conflict in the upcoming several months, which at this stage make our domestic problems secondary.  We are going to follow these developments carefully, to assess the adequacy of the steps taken by the Armenian authorities in response to the situation, always to keep the society informed about the process of resolving the Karabagh conflict, and to thwart or minimize the threats to the interests of the Armenian side.”  As for your question, the Moscow declaration should definitely be considered as one of the most important developments in the process.
