Armenia confirms its commitment to a peaceful settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Armenian National Assembly Chairman Ovik
Abraamian said at a meeting with U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary
of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Matthew Bryza, who is
a co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group for the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"Armenia reaffirms its position on a peaceful settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. At the same time, Abraamian called on the
mediator to pay attention to Azerbaijan's militant rhetoric, which
cannot facilitate the peaceful settlement process," the Armenian
parliament press service told Interfax on Tuesday.
Abraamian pointed to the importance of nations' right to self-
determination, the presence of a land link between Armenia and Nagorno-
Karabakh, international guarantees of the Nagorno-Karabakh people's
security, and participation of the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities in
the negotiating process.
Bryza shared the view that Nagorno-Karabakh should be involved in
the negotiations, the press service said.
The American diplomat also praised the Armenian and Azeri presidents'
constructive approach toward a peaceful settlement of the conflict,
it said.
