The format of the talks does not reflect the essence of the Karabakh
conflict, stated Georgy Petrosyan in his address at the U.S. Institute
of Peace.

"The present format does not reflect the real essence of the conflict
because Azerbaijan refuses to negotiate with Nagorno Karabakh,"
said Georgy Petrosyan. According to him, Azerbaijan has transformed
the opportunity of a legal resolution of the conflict since 1988,
forcing it into the ethnic-political level.

Speaker Ashot Ghulyan presented the legal aspect of the conflict and
announced that Nagorno Karabakh realizes the vital interests of the
United States and other countries in the region, expecting that these
countries will recognize the interest of Karabakh as well.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
