NKR PRESIDENT ATTACHES IMPORTANCE TO ANY CONTACT WITH OSCE MINSK GROUP
CO-CHAIRMEN

YEREVAN, JANUARY 29, NOYAN TAPAN. "It is naturally meaningless to speak
today about any final results. But, any contact is important: every
meeting gives possibility to understand each other more and more," NKR
President Arkadi Ghukasian stated on January 27, touching upon the OSCE
Minsk Group Co-Chairmen’s visit paid to Stepanakert recently.
A.Ghukasian does not consider that "one can today unequivocally insist"
that the Karabakh conflict settlement is close as "there are still many
unsettled issues." According to his estimations, the NKR approaches are
espected by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen "as from our point of
view, our positions are reasoned, argued." The NKR President again
affirmed the viewpoint that the settlement is impossible without the
Karabakh side’s participation in the conflict settlement. In his words,
even those political forces of Azerbaijan, which attempt to make an
imporession that no NKR exists, understand it well.
