STEPANAKERT, JUNE 9, NOYAN TAPAN. On June 8, NKR Deputy Foreign
Minister Vardan Barseghian met with the delegation led by UK House
of Lords Deputy Speaker Caroline Cox, who had arrived in Stepanakert
on a cognitive visit.
Issues regarding the settlement process of Azerbaijan-Karabakh conflict
were discussed at the meeting. In particular, it was mentioned that
Azerbaijan uses all resources to carry out anti-Armenian agitation
and to misrepresent the essence of the Nagorno Karabakh problem,
which needs active counteraction. In this connection a proposal was
made to publish and to spread books and information materials based
on real facts and exposing Baku.
V. Barseghian said that by carrying out independent foreign policy
and striving for international recognition, NKR pursues a goal to
establish good-neighborly relations with its international partners,
countries, organizations, and private persons.
Baroness Cox, in her turn, said that at each visit she tries to bring
new people with her, thus expanding the circle of NKR’s friends hoping
that they will become Artsakh’s "ambassadors" and will assist the
Nagorno Karabakh settlement.
According to the NKR Foreign Ministry Press Service, at the end of
the meeting the guests were given compact disks Unpunished Crimes
made by the NKR Foreign Ministry, which present Azerbaijan’s crimes
against the peaceful Armenian population.
