/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The question of Nagorno Karabakh joining the talks over
the Karabakh settlement are on the political agenda of the republic, Nagorno
Karabakh Foreign Minister Arman Melikian stated. In his words, `another case
is that due to certain circumstances the Nagorno Karabakh Republic does not
take part in the talks.’ `However, I am sure (and it was spoken about
earlier), that it should take part, as, in my opinion, the negotiation
process can be efficient only in case the NKR joins it. Undoubtedly, not
taking part in the talks does not mean we hold a passive stand and play a
waiting game. We pursue our foreign policy and in this respect it does not
conflict with common international processes,’ Arman Melikian noted, Regnum
news agency reported.
