STEPANAKERT, April 28. /ARKA/. Azeri `Organization of Karabakh
Liberation’ plans to make a march in Nagorno Karabakh on May 8. NKR
MFA stated that it is so-called march of peace, organized on public
initiative and more than likely has propaganda and populism
character. MFA stated that there was no statement to the authorities
of Nagorno Karabakh Republic from initiators of the march. `However
we think that there will be no statement in the future, because real
goals of the activity are different from announced. It could be that
in other conditions this step was estimated as activity directed on
establishment of atmosphere of trust between the parties of the
conflict, however, today it can be a provocation at contact line of
