    NKR FM SAYS BAKU'S MOVE TO DEBATE KARABAKH IN UN NOT GENUINE

    YEREVAN

    The foreign minister of the Nagornyy Karabakh Republic (NKR), Ashot
    Gulyan, said in Stepanakert today that Azerbaijan's initiative to
    discuss "The status of occupied territories in Azerbaijan" at the UN
    General Assembly "is fully within the Azerbaijani policy which is
    aimed at diverting the attention of the international community from
    the core of the Karabakh problem by means of propagandistic tricks".

    Ashot Gulyan said that "Azerbaijan knows perfectly well that these
    territories are under the control of the Karabakh forces, and Armenia
    has nothing to do with them", Mediamax's correspondent reports from
    Stepanakert.

    (Passage omitted: Azerbaijan has brought many accusations against
    Karabakh for many years)

    The NKR foreign minister confirmed Nagornyy Karabakh's readiness to
    discuss with Azerbaijan any complex issues, including those regarding
    the territories.

    At the same time, he pointed out that "Baku has always avoided such
    discussions and is trying to wrest from the whole package only those
    issues which meet its own interests to form an impression that it is
    extremely interested in promoting the settlement process".

    Ashot Gulyan stressed that the shortest way to settle the conflict was
    the resumption of the negotiating process in the full format with the
    participation of Nagornyy Karabakh as a full party to the talks.
