was presented to him for his outstanding services in the organization

negotiation process on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement was
hampered by the fact that Nagorno Karabakh didn't participate in it
equally with Armenia and Azerbaijan.
"Armenia's President uses all his efforts to restore the provisions
of the Budapest Summit, according to which Nagorno Karabakh is an
equal party to the negotiations", the NKR President stated.
The head of state emphasized that the issue was discussed with the
OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmen who, according to him, also consider
that Nagorno Karabakh should participate in the negotiation process.
"Everybody realizes that no final solution is possible without Nagorno
Karabakh's participation", emphasized Bako Sahakian.
