    NKR OFFICIAL CASTS DOUBTS ON TURKEY'S REGIONAL PLATFORM DRIVE

    Stepanakert, 11 September: Nagornyy Karabakh republic [NKR] foreign
    minister Gerogi Petrosyan thinks that given the current situation the
    Nagornyy Karabakh issue will not be settled soon due to its complexity.

    Petrosyan made the statement after the round table discussion,
    titled "Situation in South Caucasus: Prospects of NKR international
    recognition," at the NKR National Assembly [parliament], attended by
    the leaders of parliamentary and non-parliamentary parties.

    Responding to a question on Turkey's initiative to be a mediator in
    the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict settlement process, Petrosyan said
    that Turkey's initiative is "the hottest topic that Armenians have
    been discussing". He added that the initiative contradicts the OSCE
    Minsk Group co-chairmanship in some sense. "Which initiative should
    prevail in this rapidly changing situation or would they be combined
    is not clear for anyone, to be frank," Petrosyan said. He said that
    Turkey's initiative to set up a platform of stability and security in
    the region does not envisage including the European Union, the USA,
    Iran and other countries interested. "But how is it possible to ensure
    full-fledged security in the region today if countries having serious
    interests in the region are left out? This is a question that should
    be discussed by all sides," he added.
