Yerevan, IA Regnum reported. In his words, the call is also addressed
to parliaments of other countries. A. Melikian noted that direct
talks between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan may become a key for
solving the problem and that only Nagorno Karabakh can assume the
responsibility both for the territories and the refugees. Answering
the question whether it is a call to Armenia's withdrawal from the
negotiation process, Melikian noted "it is the approach of Nagorno
Karabakh." In his words, at the moment the outcomes of the talks
between Yerevan and Baku do not provide an exact notion on the
further developments." Nagorno Karabakh is not left outside the
negotiation framework, as it possesses the whole information on the
talks between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the NKR FM stated. Speaking of
the opportunity for certain concessions by Stepanakert, Arman
Melikian noted that "these can only take place in the course of
direct talks between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan, as now we do
not hold direct talks, speaking of concessions is early."
