NKR FOREIGN MINISTER GEORGY PETROSSYAN'S COMMENTARY ON THE MOSCOW DECLARATION
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Nagorno-Karabakh Republic
Adoption of the declaration by Presidents of Russia, Armenia and
Azerbaijan testifies readiness of the Russian Federation to act as
an effective mediator in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement.
The meeting may be regarded as an attempt to clarify the stance of
Azerbaijan and Armenia concerning the prospects of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement via political methods, taking into consideration
the changed situation in the region after the known developments in
August, 2008 as well.
The settlement process of past years has demonstrated that the
participation of the most concerned part, the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic, a state that was established in full correspondence with
the international law, will make the negotiations more effective.
If Azerbaijan is really interested in the conflict settlement, then
it should have sat down to talks long ago, instead of trying to exert
pressure upon the Nagorno Karabakh Republic via different international
instances and countries, and misleading the international community.
Anyway, the NKR's freedom, independent status and the people's
security conditioned by it are the absolutely interdependent bases
of the NKR policy.
