Today in Stepanakert the NKR President Arkadi Ghoukasyan rendered a
press conference in which he appreciated the intentions to restore
the transport communication between Armenia and Azerbaijan as positive.

As for the opening of the highway Aghdam-Shoushi-Lachin-Ijevan he
hinted that it is not the most important issue in today’s discussion,
and referring to the most important issue he mentioned, «The problem N1
for us is that of the status, and today the Azeri authorities discuss
it both with the mediators and the Armenian authorities. And I think
this is progress», said the NKR President.

As for compromise, the President mentioned, «Lachin cannot be subject
to compromise, as it connects Karabakh to the outer world. We will
not go a step back from the position of our people». By the way, the
NKR President considered the attempts of the Azeri political bodies
to equal the rights and duties of the Armenian and Azeri communities
of Karabakh «fruitless».

By the way, according to Arkadi Ghoukasyan, the reason for the
soothing of the Azeri position can be the pressure of the international
community.
