19:14 / 11/20/2009If the Prime Minister of the Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic (NKR) stated that the NKR has not officially received the
Madrid principles, you must believe him, RA Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian told a press conference, commenting on the NKR Premier’s
statement.

NKR Premier Ara Harutyunyan stated that the NKR has not received the
document and, therefore does not recognize it.

One thing is whether "Yerevan has shown the document to Stepanakert",
quite another thing is whether the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs
officially presented the document to the NKR, Nalbandian said.

The NKR Premier stated the NKR knows about the Madrid principles
"from newspaper and information reports, which, however, does not
make it a document for us."
