The Nagornyy Karabakh Republic (NKR) will be involved in the
negotiations to resolve the Karabakh conflict as a full party, the
Nagornyy Karabakh president, Arkadiy Gukasyan, told the OSCE
chairman-in-office, Bulgarian Foreign Minister Solomon Passi, in
Yerevan today.
Gukasyan said the fact that the NKR is not involved in the talks
between Armenia and Azerbaijan was temporary.
Commenting on the forthcoming meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani
foreign ministers in Prague, Gukasyan said "this format cannot
facilitate the Karabakh settlement".
"All contacts are important but the problem can hardly be resolved
without Karabakh," the NKR president said.
