Armenpress
STEPANAKERT, JULY 18, ARMENPRESS: Authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh
have welcomed today a statement by leaders of the Great Eight (G-8)
which they issued in Russian Saint Petersburg calling on Armenia and
Azerbaijan 'to demonstrate the political will, reach agreement and
prepare their publics for peace and not for war.' "We confirmed that
the Group of Eight supports the mediation efforts of the co-chairs
of the OSCE Minsk Group and stressed the need for agreeing on the
basic principles of a peaceful settlement of the conflict as early
as in 2006," the G-8 statement said.
"One may only welcome the statement of the Great Eight countries
on maintenance of the intermediary efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group
and on necessity of co-ordination of the core principles of the
conflict's peaceful resolution," Nagorno-Karabakh foreign minister
Giorgy Petrosian said today in the statement.
"Nagorno Karabakh has always come out in favor of peaceful resolution
of the problem and is ready to exert every effort to achieve the
agreement on establishing long-term peace in the region. Unfortunately,
it is not everything that depends on the mediators. Considering
Azerbaijan's extremely destructive position and its unwillingness to
be in any contact with Nagorno Karabakh it is very difficult to find
an acceptable and correct solution to date.
The President of the Russian Federation has fairly noted that Russia
is not going to impose any solutions on the parties to the conflict
and that the compromise must be reached by people. Taking into
account the Russian Federation's readiness to become a guarantor of
the agreements' fulfillment we remind once more that the achievement
of solutions directly concerning the future of our country and our
people is possible only with participation of representatives of
legally elected authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, the
main and the most suffered party to the conflict," he said.
