In a March 10 interview with the independent Shant television channel, Vartan Oskanian said that Armenia has already agreed to the maximum possible concessions in the process of negotiating a settlement to the Karabakh conflict. \"I think what we have agreed to is the utmost line beyond which Armenia cannot go,\" Oskanian said, adding that \"Azerbaijan has not yet reached that line. Therefore, a lot now depends on Azerbaijan.... Azerbaijan should make its share of compromises.\" Oskanian characterized the draft settlement plan currently under discussion as \"balanced\" and as \"providing great opportunities.\" Oskanian dismissed as intended for domestic consumption threats by Azerbaijan\'s President Ilham Aliyev to resolve the conflict by force. \"No one will allow Azerbaijan to unleash war against Armenia,\" Oskanian said. Responding to questions addressed to him at the website of the independent daily \"Azg,\" Oskanian characterized formal recognition by Armenia of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh Republic as \"a political instrument which...should be used at the right moment.\" (Noyan Tapan)
