Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Karen
Mirzoyan, who was on a visit to France from 10 to 12 June, gave an
interview to France-24 TV channel.
The NKR Foreign Minister answered a range of issues 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 Armenian massacres in
Sumgait, Baku, Kirovabad, and other Azerbaijani towns, which were
followed by aggression against proper Nagorno Karabakh.
"Azerbaijan must, first of all, change its stance - it is a country,
which constantly enhances its 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 the 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 a 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-fledged participation
of the NKR in the negotiations.
