work. The conference uniting the representatives of state authority
bodies, scientific expert circles, mass-media, is of course important
and appreciable event in public-political life of Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic.It is significant, that it is spent to a year of the 20
anniversary of the Karabakh movement, which has predetermined further
ways of development of our society. It is necessary to note the special
importance and urgency of the problems mentioned by you connected
with today’s process and prospects of settlement both Karabakh and
other ethnopolitical conflicts of the post Soviet space. Discussion
of these problems in present unusual geopolitic conditions should
assume analysis of the situation in the process of Karabakh
conflict settlement. I consider, that the conference should work
out the concrete type of Karabakh conflict settlement and practical
assignments, taking into account arisen realities and historical-legal
basis of creation of independent statehood of NKR, present tendencies
of development of international law. I think, the conference will

excite today NKR citizens.I hope, that discussions within the limits
of the conference will pass in a favourable atmosphere, and during a
constructive exchange of opinions its participants, using creative and
mental potential, will offer interesting ideas and initiatives, which

to the peace and consent.It is very important, that the work of the
