/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Due to the recent developments around the
Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement process, the NKR Ministry
of Foreign Affairs issued the following statement: "The NKR stance
on the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement is stable. It is
impossible to achieve the conflict settlement, ignoring the existing
reality. Any attempt to return the Nagorno Karabakh Republic to the
past are not only counterproductive, but are also fraught with new
escalation of the conflict. Real progress at the negotiations is
possible only under the Karabakh party's equal participation in all
the stages of the negotiation process. No agreement regarding the
interests, fate, and future of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic can
be adopted without the participation of its people and leadership,
which bears the principal responsibility for it.
We hope that all the actors interested in the peaceful settlement
will prevent any violation of the status-quo in the region caused by
the intensification of the negotiation process on the basis of the
current settlement wording.
Proceeding from the abovementioned, we consider it required to
reset the distorted negotiation process, to return the NKR to the
negotiation table as an full-fledged party to the negotiation process,
and to transform the basic principles of the settlement."
