/PanARMENIAN.Net/ An essential aspect of the statement made by
international mediators is establishment of the opportunity to attain
a peace accord, stated Chair of the NKR National Assembly Standing
Commission for External Relations Vahram Atanesyan. In his words,
today there are no real preconditions for agreeing over settlement
principles, proposed by the mediators, as Azerbaijan does not accept
these.
"Before release of territories controlled by the NKR and return of
Azeri refugees Baku is not going to discuss the NKR status. At the
same time before the final determination of the NKR legal status
the Karabakh party cannot discuss matters, referring to the conflict
consequences," the Commission Chair said.
Atanesyan underscored that Azerbaijan does not wish to make compromises
and refuses even the idea of postponing the Nagorno Karabakh status. At
the same time, having declared independence in 1991, the NKR does not
refuse from another one. "Taking into account the latest developments
in Europe, relating to the readiness of the international community
to recognize independence of Montenegro and Kosovo, NK has all legal
grounds for international recognition of its state independence,"
Atanesyan said, reports IA De-Facto.
