/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The negotiations over Nagorno Karabakh are not
an end in itself, however the NKR authorities are ready to discuss
any issues, which do not infringe upon Karabakh people's rights and
do not threaten their security, Nagorno Karabakh Republic Foreign
Minister Georgy Petrossian stated at a meeting with Vice Speaker of
the British Parliament House of Lords Baroness Caroline Cox.
"The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is a complicated one, as a large number
of interests are coming into collision here. These have special
urgency in the light of the latest developments in the region and
in the world on the whole", - Georgy Petrossian said. The Minister
noted that the existing format of the negotiations on the Karabakh
conflict settlement did not reflect the core of the conflict.
"Unfortunately, today, the mediators focused their attention
not on the essence of the conflict but on the liquidation of its
consequences. We emphasize once more that without the participation
of Nagorno Karabakh - the most suffered party to the conflict -
the achievement and realization of any agreements are impossible",
- Georgy Petrossian said. "Today, we face a task of development
but not a survival. In this connection we attach great importance
to democratization processes. The freer are the people, the more
protected are their rights in our country the stronger we shall
be. It is a strategic way for us",- Georgy Petrossian emphasized,
reports the NKR MFA Press Service.
