mostly contribute to the solution of some problems of Artsakh.

his colleagues touched upon a number of urgent issues, the regulation
of which will enable to considerably improve the RA-NKR cooperation,
and expressed his readiness of providing public solution to the
problems of all-Armenian significance through direct participation.

be based on conceptional provisions.
