Hoagland on "Lavrov plan": On the negotiating table, a proposal for a settlement of the Karabakh conflict is beneficial to all sides
ArmInfo.The proposal plan, which is currently on the table of negotiations on the Karabakh settlement, is to some extent beneficial to all sides of the conflict. The American co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group Richard Hoagland, answering the question, stated this whether there is a plan of "Lavrov" and what he assumes.
According to him, in diplomatic circles it is not customary to call similar plans or proposals. "But, we are not going to talk about who did not sleep at night and worked out this document. But I can say that the proposal plan is developed clearly and in detail. It consists of three parts, but now it would be inappropriate to provide details. The sides are working on them. But I can say that this is a reasonable plan that can satisfy all sides of the negotiation process", the Diplomat noted. At the same time, he stated that this plan does not radically differ from previous proposals. In his opinion, the parties clearly represent what is at stake and now it is necessary to sit down and talk, to reach a compromise on contentious issues.
