Yerevan, 28 July: The Nagornyy Karabakh authorities fully entrust the
negotiating process to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, a member
of the Pubic Council and the leader of the Christian Democratic
Party, Khosrov Harutyunyan, said after a meeting with officials and
representatives of public organizations of the NKR [Nagornyy Karabakh
Republic] in Stepanakert.

Harutyunyan pointed out today that Nagornyy Karabakh’s desire to
directly participate in the negotiations does not mean that there is
distrust towards the Armenian authorities. Harutyunyan said that in
any case, the resolution of the conflict will not come into force if
it does not suit Nagornyy Karabakh.

Speaking about the "Madrid principles", Harutyunyan noted that there is
significant progress in these principles in terms of a fair resolution
of the conflict, however, certain provisions need to be discussed.

Commenting on bellicose statements by the Azerbaijani side, Harutyunyan
said that "the Armenians in Nagornyy Karabakh are confident about their
military potential, and this is not self-confidence, but confidence
based on the facts".
