June 22 the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) President Arkady Ghoukasyan
met with the participants of an international scientific conference
titled "NKR: Past, Present, Future" held in Stepanakert.

According to the information DE FACTO got at the NKR President Press
Service, having welcomed the guests representing scientific circles
of about 10 countries, Arkady Ghoukasyan remarked the organization
of an authoritative scientific conference on the Artsakh land
was one more step towards the NKR’s international recognition and
worthy representation on the international arena. Nagorno Karabakh
President said the Karabakh conflict would hardly be settled in
the near future, while the adversaries of the issue’s solution had
brought the conflict to the political, economic and even scientific
field, avoiding a dialogue. "We have to accept a challenge, and your
scientific potential and rich experience should become our strong
mainstay in the struggle", noted the President.

In the course of the meeting the interlocutors exchanged opinions
on the issues referring to the development of the sphere of science
and education in the NKR. Arkady Ghoukasyan expressed readiness to
examine all the ideas and projects relevant to the subject. While
answering the guests’ questions, the NKR President suggested that
such scientific conferences should be held in Karabakh every year.

NKR government Chair Anoushavan Danielyan, NKR government Deputy
Chair Ararat Danielyan and NKR Minister of Education, Culture and
Sport Kamo Atayan were also present at the meeting.
