Astana document is a fiction, opposition politician says

Karine Hakobyan of the opposition Heritage party board has called the statement adopted yesterday at the Astana Summit "a declarative document".

"That is a statement to maintain status quo, it should have had a wider content," she said. Hakobyan said it was more like a declaration to maintain peace.

"There have been scores of documents to maintain peace, but it has been breached whenever seen necessary," she added.

Hakobyan also said that the document is "a fiction, a political farce, behind which the real politics is made."
