"The agenda of the Armenian side is that the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
must participate in talks on Karabakh. And make no mistake, this will
be done," said a member of the Republican Party of Armenia Gagik
Melikyan when asked by Aysor’s correspondent whether the Armenian
side intends to involve the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic in negotiations.

"This was announced at the Congress of the Republican Party. And feel
certain, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will participate in negotiations
having full rights."

Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said in Athens that
Stepanakert will participate in negotiations especially in those
connected with agreements, according to Gagik Melikyan.

As soon as Armenia and Azerbaijan reach an agreement on fundamental
principles, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic will be involves in
negotiations. "An agreement without sign by the Nagorno-Karabakh is
unacceptable," he added.
