there are the countries which promote this security, its establishment
and enhancing, but there are also the countries which threaten such
system formation, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan
said at the international conference ‘Sotuation in the Caucasus and
prospects of regional security’ held in Yerevan.

‘The work of today’s conference will be directed to discussion
of the situation in the Caucasus and searching for the decisions,
which will help escape clash. I have recently returned from Nagornyy
Karabakh where the parliamentary election were held, and I would
like to specially mention that just Nagornyy Karabakh made a regular
step towards the civilized relations and stability in our region’,
