    Newly appointed NATO Secretary General's Special Representative for
    the South Caucasus and Central Asia James Appathurai said that NATO
    has not changed its position on the Karabakh conflict settlement.

    "NATO is not directly involved but we support the efforts of the
    Minsk Group. In this context, I welcome the recent statement by the
    Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan at Astana, which restates the
    commitment of the two sides to seek a final settlement and spells out
    what the basis for such a final settlement will be," Appathurai said
    in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net

    Referring to the Lisbon Summit Communique, Appathurai said that
    NATO Heads of State and Government indeed referred to the protracted
    regional conflicts in the South Caucasus and the Republic of Moldova
    in their recent Summit Communique.

    "Besides expressing support for the territorial integrity,
    independence and sovereignty of the countries concerned, the
    Heads of State and Government also stressed the need for peaceful
    conflict resolution, respect of the current negotiation formats,
    and constructive engagement. This is in line with what NATO Heads of
    State and Government stated at their previous summit two years ago
    in Strasbourg/Kehl," said Appathurai.

    The full text of James Appathurai's interview with PanARMENIAN.Net
    is available on Interviews division of Armenia and World section.
