/PanARMENIAN.Net/ These days, in a conversation with a BBC
correspondent, a representative of the Azerbaijani MFA stated that
the status of Nagorno Karabakh can be discussed only after the
liberation of some territories and return of the Azerbaijanis to
Nagorno Karabakh. What is the NKR position on this issue?
"This discourse reflects the traditional approach of the Azerbaijani
policy on misinterpretation of the grounds, core, and consequences
of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict.
We believe that for creating a basis for the final settlement of the
Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict and establishing stable peace in the
region, first of all, achievement of mutual recognition of the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic and the Azerbaijani Republic, as well as mutual
rejection of any attempts of a military solution to the conflict
is needed. Mutual recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and
Azerbaijan and rejection of any war gamble should become the start
point of the negotiations and not the final, NKR Minister of Foreign
Affairs," Georgi Petrosyan stated.
"This approach will allow to create favorable conditions for solving
the most complicated issues: territories, refugees, and borders. They
must be mutual and brought into step with the course of the peace
process. The key issue among the noted ones is the issue of the
Armenian refugees from the former Azerbaijani Soviet Socialist
Republic. Exclusion of the Armenian refugees from the context of the
Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement, suppression of their legal
rights is a way to nowhere. Without solving the issue of the Armenian
refugees from the Azerbaijani SSR, solution of the issue of any other
refugees or some other issues is impossible," NKR MFA cited Georgi
Petrosyan as saying.
