On November 29 Nagorno-Karabakh Foreign Minister Karen Mirzoyan made
a speech at the international conference "Regional Security Dynamics
in the South Caucasus" in Yerevan, the NKR Foreign Ministry press
service reports.
Karen Mirzoyan stressed that in order to resolve the problems in the
region, it is necessary to create an atmosphere of general security
based on mutual cooperation and equality.
"This should be based on the respect for human rights, basic freedoms
and rule of law. Since the very first days of proclamation of its
independence, the NKR has given high priority to creation of a free
and democratic society, which forms its government by means of free
and competitive elections. I'd like to note that we are committed to
our will to continue the course we settled down to more than 20 years
ago. The NKR's success in this regard is obvious and cannot be
ignored", said Mirzoyan. He stressed that the 19 July 2012
presidential elections became one more step towards consolidation of
democratic traditions and universal values.
Mirzoyan also pointed out that at present the NKR is a republic with
state structures, a combat-effective army and citizens committed to
democratic values and ideas of freedom. "Despite all difficulties and
hardships, the country is moving forward, consolidating its state
institutes, developing the economy and culture", he said. In the
meantime, he pointed out that Azerbaijan fails to take similar steps
to create an atmosphere of general security on the basis of
cooperation and respect for democratic principles.
As regards the current stage of the Karabakh peace process, Mirzoyan
expressed confidence that the peace talks have no alternative and it
is necessary to take specific measures to consolidate the ceasefire
regime.
He also emphasized that in order to make the talks effective, it is
necessary to ensure official Stepanakert's full-fledged participation
in the Karabakh peace process.
