the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, stated First
Vice-President of the world Armenian Congress and Chairman of the

Diaspora, which is lobbying for fair decisions on the Armenian
Genocide,’ he said.

Armenian Genocide recognized by 24 countries. As regards the
Nagorno-Karabakh problem, the Armenians have not so far combined their
efforts.

the World Armenian Congress is preparing an all-Armenian action ` a
conference to discuss the Nagorno-Karabakh problem.
According to him, the initiative will be realized in all the large
Armenian communities throughout the world, and the World Armenian
Congress is negotiating with its partners now.

issues. He reported that a draft statement is ready and will be
submitted to the conference for approval.
A. Sargsyan also said that the RA Foreign Office and the
Nagorno-Karabakh authorities welcomed the idea as they realize the need
for uniting efforts of all Armenians in the Nagorno-Karabakh settlement
process. `0′
