NKR FOREIGN MINISTER: ACHIEVEMENT OF SOLUTIONS IS POSSIBLE ONLY WITH
PARTICIPATION OF LEGALLY ELECTED AUTHORITIES OF THE NKR

STEPANAKERT, JULY 18, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. One may only
welcome a statement of the Great Eight 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. Nagorno
Karabakh Republic Foreign Minister Georgy Petrossian said commenting
upon the statements of IA REGNUM, made during the summit of the Great
Eight countries in Saint Petersburg.

"Unfortunately, it is not everything that 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,"
G.Petrossian said.

"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 more 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," NKR Foreign Minister emphasized.
