The NKR Minister of Foreign Affairs Arman Melikyan considers that the
PACE resolution on Karabakh issue maintains both positive and negative
aspects. The positivity lies in the fact that like the NKR authorities
the resolution records of the necessity of bilateral proposals. In
Melikyan’s words, PACE changed stresses in this issue.
The Minister also said he is content with the visit of the OSCE
fact-finding mission. According to him, the European officials had the
possibility to see whether a group of rascals involved in drug
trafficking is ruling in Karabakh or whether state system has already
been established in the republic. The Minister is convinced that the
mission members realized that Azeris’ statements do not correspond to
reality.
As for Atkinson’s report, Melikyan said he is glad that the
international community comes to conclusion that bilateral
negotiations can be efficient.
