/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The international conference on the
20th anniversary of the Karabakh movement is called to
attract the attention of the international community
to legal settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
to reveal the obstacles in the process, the Speaker of
the NKR National Assembly said.

?The Karabakh movement aimed to prevent deportation of
the native Armenian population, to secure the right to
make choice and methods of establishing friendly
relations with all neighbors. So, the final decision
should be taken with account of legal, historical and
cultural factors,? Ashot Ghulyan said.

?The current slippage in the negotiation process and
the looming threat of deadlock speak about
misunderstanding,? he added, Novosti Armenia reports.

The conference brought together political scientists
and experts from Russia, U.S., a number of European
states, Armenia, Iran, Abkhazia, South Ossetia,
Transnistria and Nagorno Karabakh.
