NKR SPEAKER: NAGORNO KARABAKH EXPECTS U. S. TO APPRECIATE ITS
INTERESTS
The legal and historical foundations of Nagorno Karabakh Republic's
formation correspond to the international standards and experience,
Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) National Assembly Chair Ashot Gulyan
stated in Washington, while addressing the audience June 28 at the U.
S. Institute of Peace on the subject `The Karabakh Conflict:
Prerequisites for Peace'.
According to the information DE FACTO received at the NKR MFA Press
service, Ashot Gulyan had noted he appreciated the vital interests of
the U. S. and other countries in the South Caucasus, but at the same
time expected them to understand Karabakh's interests.
In his turn the NKR FM Georgy Petrosyan underscored the present
format of the Karabakh talks did not reflect the conflict's real
essence, as the Azeri party denied negotiations with Nagorno
Karabakh.
Diplomats, heads of the U. S. strategic centers and organizations and
Armenian community's members were present at the measure.
In the U. S. Congress the NKR Speaker and FM met with the
Representative Nita Lowey.

social-economic situation in the Republic, development of democracy
in Artsakh and latest developments in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict

Congress, RA Ambassador to the U. S. Tatul Margaryan, NKR Permanent
Representative in the U. S. Vardan Barseghyan, leadership of Armenian
Assembly of America and Armenian National Committee of America,
journalists, Armenian community's members. Congressmen Frank Pallone,
Joe Knollenberg, Caroline Maloney, Adam Schiff and Bred Sherman
addressed the audience in the course of the reception. Having
condemned Azerbaijan's aggressive anti Armenian policy the members of
the Congress expressed their readiness to promote NKR's development.
While speaking, the Nagorno Karabakh's officials expressed gratitude
to the U. S. Congress and American nation on behalf of the Artsakh
people for adherence to eternal values, such as freedom and
democracy, as well as for humanitarian assistance to Nagorno
Karabakh.
Upon the measure's completion the NKR delegation also met with the U.

Knollenberg.
