"Our final goal is the international recognition of Nagornyy Karabakh,
and if the international community sees the problem in this context,
the solution will probably also be found," the foreign minister of the
Nagornyy Karabakh Republic, Arman Melikyan, said at a press conference
in Stepanakert today.
Commenting on the statement of the Azerbaijani side about the
allegedly planned pull-out of troops from the territories occupied
during the war, the NKR foreign minister pointed out that Nagornyy
Karabakh has not participated and is not participating in any talks on
this issue.
"Taking into account that each of the sides has its own demands within
the framework of the negotiations, the statements by [Azerbaijani
Foreign Minister] Elmar Mammadyarov and [Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign
Minister] Araz Azimov can be interpreted as Azerbaijan's readiness to
recognize the independence of Nagornyy Karabakh. Only in this context,
can we expect a solution to any issues related to the territories,"
Melikyan said.
