ArmInfo. The National Assembly of the Nagorny Karabakh Republic adopted
a statement in connection with the latest developments related to
the Nagorno-Karabakh issue on November 25.

The statement in particular says that the latest developments of
the Karabakh settlement have proved the non-constructiveness of
Azerbaijan. The authors of the statement affirm that Azerbaijan is
just prolonging time expressing its complaints with international
mediation to start a new war against Artsakh. Under these conditions,
the Artsakh parliament assesses the statements of the Azerbaijani
high-ranking officials as an expression of hopeless negotiating party
which is full of dangers for peace settlement. The NKR government has
repeatedly urged international organizations about the Azerbaijani
aggressive foreign policy. All this is accompanied by regular breaches
of the cease-fire on the contact line between Karabakh and Azerbaijan.

With this statement, the NKR parliament focuses the attention of
the OSCE Minsk group, mediator countries’ parliaments, OSCE and
CoE on these dangerous developments. Azerbaijan makes continuous
efforts to distort the essence of the Karabakh conflict and the
negotiations casting doubt on the efficiency of all the efforts by the
international community to establish peace and security in the region.
The NKR parliament proposes the NKR foreign ministry to release this
statement at the forthcoming OSCE Ministers’ council session in Athens.
