[Presenter] The president of the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic, Arkadiy
Gukasyan, today said that recent revelations on a settlement of the
Nagornyy Karabakh conflict [by US co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group
Matthew Bryza] cannot change Karabakh's position. As for Karabakh's
participation in the negotiations, the president said that this is
still impossible because of Azerbaijan's non-constructive position.
[Gukasyan] The position of Karabakh has not changed and will not
[change]. All revelations cannot affect us because our position is
stable. Azerbaijan's position is its destructive approach [as heard].
I do not think that it will be realistic today and Azerbaijan will
be ready to negotiate with Karabakh. It is a wrong impression that
Karabakh needs this. The process needs this.
