The approaches of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic regarding the conflict
settlement have not changed, NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrosyan told
" Armenpress."

The Minister refused to make any predictions about the terms of
settlement of the Karabakh conflict. "Nagorno Karabakh stands for
the rapid resolution of the conflict and establishment of friendly
relations with Azerbaijan, as a guarantee of stability and development
in the region," Georgy Petrosyan said.

He is confident that only the peace that guarantees the security of
the conflicting parties, freedom and dignity will be enduring.

In response to the question whether it is possible to agree upon
the pivotal issues of settlement in the current year, the Foreign
Minister said that the year 2006 was full of optimistic statements
and predictions about the Karabakh conflict settlement, which,
unfortunately, do not correspond to the real state of negotiations,
which resulted in certain disappointment.
