    As of today it is not worth expecting anything new in the
    Nagorno-Karabakh (NK) conflict's settlement process, Nagorno-Karabakh
    Republic (NKR) President's Press Secretary Davit Babayan told Armenian
    News-NEWS.am, speaking about Organization for Security and
    Co-operation in Europe's (OSCE) Secretary General Lamberto Zannier's
    scheduled visit to the South Caucasus.

    In his words, prerequisites are in need for making changes in the
    negotiation process.

    `There are several aspects here. First, the NK matter must be
    discussed in the context of global geopolitical scenarios, including
    in the Middle East, and the situation in that region does not
    contribute to this.

    Second, Azerbaijan hampers this by making bellicose statements, which
    contain racist, fascist, anti-Armenian stance.

    Second, the existing format is one of the possible formats, which has
    proven its effectiveness in the case when Azerbaijan is combating with
    the USSR-era format,' Babayan stressed, and added:

    `In many of the world's very hot spots they simply dream that [their]
    situation be at least like the one in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
    zone. Relative stability is already a huge progress. It is not worth
    expecting more.'

    In addition, according to NKR President's Press Secretary,
    Azerbaijan's aforementioned demeanor was a blow to international law,
    and the maintenance of the situation created under these circumstances
    and not allowing for the conflict's escalation are already
    achievements.

    As Armenian News-NEWS.am informed earlier, along the lines of a
    regional visit, OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zannier will be in the
    South Caucasus countries between July 8 and 12.

    First, Zannier will visit Azerbaijan on July 8-9, next, he will head
    to Georgia, and finally he will stay in Armenia on July 11-12.

    Within the framework of his visits, the OSCE Secretary General will
    meet with leaders of the three countries, and discuss
    politico-military collaboration, and cooperation in connection with
    economy, the environment, and human rights.
