Commenting upon the statements of made during the summit of the Group
of Eight countries in Saint Petersburg, NKR Foreign Minister Georgy
Petrosyan said in particular, "One may only welcome a statement of the
G8 countries on maintenance of the intermediary efforts of the OSCE
Minsk Group and on necessity of co-ordination of the core principles
of the conflict’s peaceful resolution.
Nagorno Karabakh has always come out in favor of peaceful resolution of
the problem and is ready to exert every effort to achieve the agreement
on establishing long-term peace in the region. Unfortunately, not
everything depends on the mediators. Considering Azerbaijan’s extremely
destructive position and its unwillingness to be in any contact with
Nagorno Karabakh it is very difficult to find an acceptable and
correct solution to date. The President of the Russian Federation
has fairly noted that Russia is not going to impose any solutions on
the parties to the conflict and that the compromise must be reached
by people. Taking into account the Russian Federation’s readiness
to become a guarantor of the agreements’ fulfillment, we remind once
again that the achievement of solutions directly concerning the future
of our country and our people is possible only with participation of
representatives of legally elected authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic, the main and the most suffered party to the conflict".
