When summing up the NKR Foreign Ministry activities of 2012 foreign
minister Karen Mirzoyan marked out Ramil Safarov's extradition, the
developments in connection with the reoperation of Stepanakert airport
and the NKR response to the events. In its letter addressed to the UNO
Secretary General the NKR foreign ministry specified the Azerbaijani
position on the airport reoperation as an obvious manifestation of
violation of human rights and profound freedoms and continuation of
group punishment policy against the civil population.
By the foreign minister's estimation in 2012 the efforts aimed at
the international recognition of Artsakh were more efficient than
the negotiation process. According to Karen Mirzoyan the perspective
of shifting the country's relations with the outside world to a new
level will not keep us waiting long. According to him the international
recognition of Artsakh has no alternative.
At the same conference touching upon the full-fledged participation of
the NKR in the negotiation process President Bako Sahakyan noted that
the restoration of the NKR participation could never be observed as a
matter of formality. "Artsakh must partake in all the stages of the
negotiation process beginning with the exchange of viewpoints round
the conflict settlement up to concrete steps and arrangements to be
made," he said and added that the return round the negotiating table
must be bound up in a distinct standpoint, "Any slightest danger to
the security and independence of Artsakh is out of question. No return
to the past either in status or in the regional administrative aspect
is possible."
