YEREVAN. June 1 (Interfax-AVN) - Armenia's Interior Ministry believes it is too early to consider a possible deployment of peacekeepers in the conflict zone in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"At present there are no final agreements concerning the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, so it is premature to speak about a deployment of peacekeepers," a representative of Armenia's Foreign Ministry told Interfax on Thursday.
The Armenian diplomat also refused to comment on the possibility of sending CIS peacekeepers to the conflict zone in case Baku and Yerevan reach an agreement on a settlement.
Armen Rustamyan, the chairman of the Foreign Policy Parliamentary Commission, told Interfax "at present it is too early to talk about the possible presence of any peacekeeping forces in the zone of the Karabakh conflict."
"The issue of peacekeepers' deployment in the conflict area is only a component of the whole package on the Karabakh settlement, and it makes no sense to comment on it separately," said the MP.
"We think that all issues concerning the possible deployment of a peacekeeping force in the zone of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict can be discussed only when some agreement on the Karabakh settlement has been reached but not apart from the general package of issues," said Rustamyan.
