NKR PRESIDENT: REFERENDUM FOR NKR SELF-DETERMINATION WAS HELD ALREADY
AND ITS RESULTS ARE KNOWN TO ALL
Stepanakert, July 25. ArmInfo. "I do not think the mediators have new
proposals, but in any case, the visit of the American cochairman is a
good possibility for us to present our position both to Mathew Bryza
and to other cochairmen", the NKR President Arkadiy Ghukassyan said,
commenting on the coming visit of Mathew Bryza, the OSCE MG cochairman
from the USA, to the conflict region and to Stepanakert.
A. Ghukassyan noted that participation of Karabakh is necessary
not only to NKR itself but to the whole settlement process. "NKR
will participate in the process sooner or later, since the problem
resolution is impossible without participation of the NKR people.
When will it be? I do not think that Azerbaijan is ready today
to hold negotiations with us as its position is destructive", A.
Ghukassyan said.
Asked about the repeated referendum for the Karabakh status, A.
Ghukassyan answered that the referendum was already held in Karabakh
and its results are known to all. "If there was a guarantee today
that the International community recognizes the tomorrow’s referendum,
we should think over it", NKR President said.
