ARMENIAN OPPOSITION PARTY READY TO BACK PRESIDENT ON KARABAKH. Albert
Bazeyan, one of the leaders of the opposition Hanrapetutiun Party,
said in Yerevan on 17 June that his party is ready to cooperate with
the present Armenian leadership in the interests of achieving a
"pro-Armenian" solution to the Karabakh conflict, RFE/RL's Armenian
Service reported. He said Hanrapetutiun will never exploit the
Karabakh issue, which he said is of "national significance," to try
to oust the government or pressure the country's leadership. Bazeyan
also said Hanrapetutiun does not believe the 14 June claim by
Azerbaijan's President Heidar Aliev that Armenian President Robert
Kocharian agreed last year to exchange Armenia's Meghri region for a
land corridor linking Armenia with the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 17 June 2002). Hanrapetutiun and 12
other opposition forces joined forces earlier this year to try to
force Kocharian's resignation. LF
