KARABAKH CALLS FOR PEACE IN GEORGIA’S S OSSETIA

Yerevan, 9 August: "The aggravation of the situation in the area of
the Georgian-South Ossetian conflict caused serious concern in the
[unrecognized] Nagornyy Karabakh republic [NKR]. The hostilities,
which have already led to numerous casualties, are fraught with
unpredictable consequences for the whole region," the NKR ministry of
foreign affairs commented on the events in South Ossetia, the Arminfo
news agency said.

"We call upon the sides to the conflict, mediating states and
international organizations to take every possible step to immediately
stop the bloodshed. The options of military settlement for such issues
have no prospects. We hope the international community will do its
best for the restoration of the peace and stability, renewal of the
negotiation process between Georgia and South Ossetia," the NKR
foreign ministry said.
