Published in News Digest

By empty (9/16/2006 issue of the CACI Analyst)

Speaking to reporters in Yerevan following an annual meeting of the Armenian diplomatic corps, Vardan Oskanian warned on September 16 that a recent Azerbaijani diplomatic initiative in the United Nations \"diverts attention\" from the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process and may even \"slow it down.\" The foreign minister was referring to an initiative of the Organization for Democracy and Economic Development-GUAM group seeking to add the issue of the region\'s \"frozen\" conflicts to the agenda of the UN General Assembly. Oskanian characterized this as is a \"new challenge\" for Armenia, but said that it stems from the fact that \"pressure on Azerbaijan is growing.
