16.09.2005 07:47
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Nagorno Karabakh Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA)
will soon express its position over the International Crisis Group (ICG)
report over Karabakh settlement, NKR FM Arman Melikyan said in the course of
a meeting with journalists September 16. `We now discuss the report, there
are certain approaches already formed. The matter lies not in to which
extent the Armenian or Azeri positions are presented in the report. We
should first of all understand the importance of the report to its authors
and the goals it should serve in the future. Obviously, the report is drawn
to assist the talks and may be used by the OSCE Minsk Group mediators and
other structures. Undoubtedly, the report includes provisions that we
consider unbiased and expedient. There are also provisions, which are in
conflict with our positions. However, undoubtedly, the report authors are
skilled professionals and they understand very well which work they do and
to what end. Having studied the report in detail we will prepare our written
comment, which I suppose to be very voluminous,' A. Melikyan said. In the
opinion of the NKR FM, the ICG report will have a positive impact, as it
notes rather clearly that Armenia has not occupied any of Azerbaijan's
territories and the armed forces situated in the territory of NKR are in
fact subordinated to the NKR authorities, IA Regnum reported.
