KARABAKH MFA TO CONTINUE EFFORTS ON ENSURING NKR’S FULL PARTICIPATION IN ALL STAGES OF NEGOTIATION PROCESS

16:36, 18 March, 2015

STEPANAKERT, MARCH 18, ARMENPRESS. On March 18, an annual meeting
chaired by Foreign Minister Karen Mirzoyan took place at the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. The activities
of the Foreign Ministry in 2014 were summarized at the meeting.

The Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the
Republic of Armenia informed “Armenpress” that Karen Mirzoyan noted
that in the previous year the NKR MFA had continued its consistent
activities on the consolidation and development of the positive trends
in the process of international recognition of the NKR.

Touching upon the process of peaceful settlement of the conflict
between Azerbaijan and Karabakh, the NKR Foreign Minister noted that
real progress failed to be achieved in this issue in 2014, due to
the destructive policy of the Azerbaijani authorities.

Karen Mirzoyan reaffirmed that the MFA would continue its efforts on
ensuring the full participation of the NKR in all the stages of the
negotiation process – from the exchange of views on the philosophy of
settlement to the elaboration and implementation of specific measures
and arrangements.

The necessity of presentation of unbiased information on Artsakh to the
international community, as well as future development of bilateral
cooperation with different countries and the Armenian Diaspora was
also stressed.

During the meeting, the process of fulfilling the tasks set up before
the Foreign Ministry by the President of the Republic was discussed.

The NKR Foreign Minister gave corresponding instructions to the
heads of departments and emphasized the necessity of conducting more
initiative diplomacy.
