/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs are not expected to
make any new proposals during their recurrent regional visit, President
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arkady Ghukasian stated, RFE/RL
reported. “All the possible variants are already on the bargaining
table. The process is under way. The parties should mature. It first
of all refers to Azerbaijan”, A. Ghukasian noted. He also refuted
the possibility of negotiating on the return of 7 regions adjacent
to Nagorno Karabakh. “This approach is not serious, since the issue
of territories cannot be viewed apart of the common context. We
highlight the status of Karabakh while Azerbaijan accentuates the
issue of territories. The edges do not come together and I can’t
say when it will happen”, the NKR President noted adding that “the
problem should be settled a the bargaining table.”
