    Dartmouth Conference Co-Chair: Karabakh Independent De Facto

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Dartmouth Conference format is unique
    because joint Russian-American projects are few in number over
    the difference in approaches towards regional conflicts, co-chair
    of the Dartmouth Conference working group for regional conflicts
    Vitaly Naumkin stated during round-table discussions in Stepanakert,
    reported by the information and analytical department of the NKR
    MFA. "The fact of our constructive cooperation in the course of many
    years should arouse trust in the format. Nagorno Karabakh despite
    all the difficulties was recognized as a party to conflict and this
    is undoubtedly the achievement of the Dartmouth process. Certainly,
    such approach demanded effort and bravery of the parties," Naumkin
    said. "We want to help people to speak and settle the issues of
    peace but not war. This is the essence of peace building through new
    relations between the people," he said.

    According to the diplomat, the intermediate status offered in the
    document automatically recognized Nagorno Karabakh as an independent
    side. "This appears as certain legitimization of Nagorno Karabakh as
    a party with responsibilities and rights," Naumkin said. "The idea of
    intermediate status doesn't suppose renunciation of anything. Nagorno
    Karabakh is independent de facto. We just propose to join the peaceful
    process. We view the intermediate status as the process of joining
    the negotiations. In our documents we create a trilateral format where
    Nagorno Karabakh appears as a full party," the Russian diplomat stated.
