/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In a letter addressed to US President Barrack Obama,
Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) Chairman Ken Hachikian
expressed "profound disappointment" at the unreasonable pressure being
applied by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs, which could threaten the
viability of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.

Minsk Group’s "heavy handed" approach to secure unilateral and
dangerous concessions by Armenians regarding the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict would "imperil the security of Armenia, the Nagorno Karabagh
Republic (NKR) and the Armenian people; increase the prospects of
renewed Azerbaijani aggression; and undermine the ability of the actual
parties to this conflict to reach a truly lasting and durable peace,"
says the release addressed to PanARMENIAN.Net.

Hachikian also calls for NKR’s Participation in Peace Negotiations. "As
a direct party to this conflict and the primary victim of Azerbaijan’s
aggression, the Nagorno Karabakh Republic must be a full and equal
participant in all aspects of the peace process," he noted. Similar
concerns were addressed in letters sent to French Ambassador to the
U.S. Pierre Vimont and Russian Federation Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
