"If the leaderships of Armenia and Azerbaijan come to any agreement
on the resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, it will be made
public", said Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan.
He said that this is an issue, which requires wide discussions not
only in Armenia but also in Karabakh. The Minister added that the
Armenian leadership is regularly contacting the "NKR" leadership
about the said issue.
As for the forecasts that the conflict will be settled in 2-3 months,
the Foreign Minister said that such forecasts were made earlier at
different levels as well, but none of them came true.
"We will be able to find the solution to the conflict if Azerbaijan
demonstrates will and does not hamper the negotiation process by making
different statements in all possible structures", said Nalbandyan.
He noted that if Armenia made similar responses to these statements,
the negotiation process would have been suspended but "we believe in
the effectiveness of negotiations".
Speaking about Armenia’s position regarding the composition of
the peacekeeping contingent which "will possibly be dislocated in
the territories adjacent to Karabakh", Nalbandyan noted that it is
early to speak about it but it would be better that the peacekeeping
contingent is multinational.
