    FRANCE-24 TV CHANNEL INTERVIEWS KARABAKH FOREIGN MINISTER

    June 14, 2013 - 20:58 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh
    Republic Karen Mirzoyan, who was on a visit to France from June 10
    to 12, gave an interview to France-24 TV channel.

    The NKR Foreign Minister answered a range of questions related to the
    history of the Karabakh conflict, its current stage and prospects of
    settlement, humanitarian issues, the economic situation in Artsakh,
    etc.

    Introducing the history of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Nagorno
    Karabakh, Karen Mirzoyan noted that the movement of 1988 had been a
    struggle not only for reunification with Armenia, but also for human
    rights, social and economic equality and a secure life. However,
    as the Minister noted, the peaceful rallies of the youth, students
    and workers were responded by Azerbaijan with massacres of Armenians
    in Sumgait, Baku, Kirovabad, and other Azerbaijani towns, which were
    followed by aggression against Nagorno Karabakh.

    "Azerbaijan must, first of all, change its stance and stop constant
    promotion xenophobia and hatred against everything Armenian", Karen
    Mirzoyan said.

    He emphasized that the conflict could not be resolved by force,
    as a war would have disastrous consequences for the entire region.

    The NKR Foreign Minister also dwelt on the economic situation
    in Artsakh, the achievements and prospects of development of the
    priority spheres.

    Touching upon humanitarian issues, Minister Mirzoyan focused on the
    problem of the Armenian refugees living in Artsakh, who, unlike the
    Azerbaijani ones, are deprived of international assistance.

    Karen Mirzoyan expressed confidence that sooner or later peaceful
    settlement of the conflict would be reached, which would ensure
    the safe development and prosperity of the two independent states -
    Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan.

    According to the Foreign Minister, the final settlement of the conflict
    with Azerbaijan is possible only under the full involvement of the
    NKR in the negotiations, NKR Foreign Ministry press service reported.
