conflict; Peace conditions" in the US Institute of Peace.
Many diplomats, heads of military centers and organizations and
the representatives of the Armenian community participated in the
discussion. The Karabakh officials presented the NKR position on the
Karabakh conflict settlement, referred to the historical background
of the conflict and to the current phase of peaceful settlement. The
NKR NA Speaker presented the legal and historic bases of the NKR
proclamation and establishment underlying their compliance with
international norms and experience. While speaking of the regional
developments he noted that NKR realizes the interests of the USA
and other countries in South Caucasus, and at the same time Karabakh
expects them to realize its own interests.
The NKR Foreign Minister focused on the current format of the
negotiations which doesn't reflect the real picture of the conflict
as the Azeri side refuses to negotiate with the NKR. In the same way,
Azerbaijan distorted the possibility of the conflict legal settlement
in 1988 by converting it into ethno-political conflict. At the end
of their speech the NKR representatives answered the participants'
questions.
Further on the Karabakh delegation met with Congressman Nita
Low member of Subcommittee on Foreign Operations of the House of
Representatives. The delegates presented him the social-economic
situation in the NKR, the democratic achievements of the country and
the latest developments of the Karabakh conflict settlement.
