Progress at the talks on the settlement of the conflict in
Nagorno-Karabakh is possible only given Stepanakert’s full-scale
involvement in them, the Foreign Ministry of the self-proclaimed
Republic of Nagorno Karabakh declared on Wednesday.

"Any attempts to return the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh to the past
are not simply counterproductive but fraught with the new escalation
of the conflict," the statement says.

"Real progress at the talks is possible only given the full-scale
involvement of the republic in all stages of the negotiating
process. No agreement affecting the interests and future of the
republic can be made without the involvement of it people or leadership
that bears primary responsibility for its future," the statement says.

"Given the above we believe that the distorted negotiating process
must be reset, the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh returned to the
negotiating table as a full-fledged party to the negotiations and the
basic principles of the settlement transformed," the statement says.

Emil Lazarian: “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
