By empty (2/2/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)
Yerevan will not agree to any \"partial solution\" of the Karabakh conflict, Armenian Foreign Minister Oskanian told a press conference in Yerevan on 30 January, according to \"The Russia Journal.\" Oskanian was referring to an EU report suggesting that Armenian troops be withdrawn from the Agdam, Djabrail, Fizuli, Gubadly, and Zangelan districts of Azerbaijan in return for the restoration of rail communication between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Several senior Azerbaijani politicians have signaled their readiness to accept that proposal.
