/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "It is impossible to imagine such a situation that
Armenia would hold talks with Azerbaijan, leaving Nagorno Karabakh
uninformed," President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arkadi
Ghukassian told to a press conference in Yerevan after negotiating with
OSCE MG French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier. He said, naturally Nagorno
Karabakh is being informed, and Stepanakert is aware of details.
"However, because of the fact that we are not participating
in negotiations, a problem exists, since we are deprived of the
possibility to feel all those nuances, which exists in the process
of talks," Ghukassian noted. At the same time he stressed that
in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement problem there exist
both insignificant and serious differences between Yerevan and
Stepanakert. "Perhaps, it would be incorrect to sound those differences
by me, since it is our inner kitchen. But we do not lose hope that we
will be able to persuade Armenia of those problems where our points
do not coincide," he said. A. Ghukassian is sure that Nagorno Karabakh
will reach agreement with Armenia on disputable issues. "Usually during
discussions of this or that issue we manage without emotions and bring
reasons and arguments, and as a rule, wins the heaviest argument,"
he underscored and added, "I think we have such an chance."
Speaking about the coming meeting between Armenian and Azeri FMs
in Geneva March 14, Arkadi Ghukassian said that he has no serious
expectations from that meeting.
At the same time he stressed that every meeting is important. The
NKR President could not make predictions over terms of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement, but underlined that everyone will
benefit if the problems solves as soon as possible. He continued
saying that from "no war, no peace" situation most of all suffers
Nagorno Karabakh. "We are interested in the solution of the conflict,
but we have principles that we will never refuse from," the President
of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic underlined, adding that if this
issue is settled at the expense of interests of Nagorno Karabakh,
naturally, "we do not need such a solution". At the same time Arkadi
Ghukassian noted the possibility to hold a meeting between Azeri and
Armenian presidents is excluded. He said, meetings on presidential
level are more important of those on the level of foreign ministers,
