14 July: "Armenian President Robert Kocharyan is not authorized to
sign any deal or agreement on behalf of the Nagornyy Karabakh republic
[NKR], which has not been recognized by or de jure annexed to Armenia,"
a statement of the organizational committee in defence of the NKR
said yesterday.

The organization also expressed discontent with the methodology of the
OSCE Minsk Group to settle the Nagornyy Karabakh and condemned the
work of Armenia’s diplomatic services "whose inaction has distorted
the essence of the conflict".

The authors of the statement also demanded that the format of the
[OSCE] Budapest summit, in which the NKR acted as an equal party to
the negotiations, should be restored.
