    NKR SPEAKER: NAGORNO KARABAKH EXPECTS U. S. TO APPRECIATE ITS
    INTERESTS


    The legal and historical foundations of Nagorno Karabakh Republic's
    formation correspond to the international standards and experience,
    Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) National Assembly Chair Ashot Gulyan
    stated in Washington, while addressing the audience June 28 at the U.
    S. Institute of Peace on the subject `The Karabakh Conflict:
    Prerequisites for Peace'.
    According to the information DE FACTO received at the NKR MFA Press
    service, Ashot Gulyan had noted he appreciated the vital interests of
    the U. S. and other countries in the South Caucasus, but at the same
    time expected them to understand Karabakh's interests.
    In his turn the NKR FM Georgy Petrosyan underscored the present
    format of the Karabakh talks did not reflect the conflict's real
    essence, as the Azeri party denied negotiations with Nagorno
    Karabakh.
    Diplomats, heads of the U. S. strategic centers and organizations and
    Armenian community's members were present at the measure.
    In the U. S. Congress the NKR Speaker and FM met with the
    Representative Nita Lowey.
    In the course of the meeting the NKR delegation presented the
    social-economic situation in the Republic, development of democracy
    in Artsakh and latest developments in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
    settlement process.
    June 28 in the Capitol a reception was organized in honor of the NKR
    delegation with the participation of the members of the U. S.
    Congress, RA Ambassador to the U. S. Tatul Margaryan, NKR Permanent
    Representative in the U. S. Vardan Barseghyan, leadership of Armenian
    Assembly of America and Armenian National Committee of America,
    journalists, Armenian community's members. Congressmen Frank Pallone,
    Joe Knollenberg, Caroline Maloney, Adam Schiff and Bred Sherman
    addressed the audience in the course of the reception. Having
    condemned Azerbaijan's aggressive anti Armenian policy the members of
    the Congress expressed their readiness to promote NKR's development.
    While speaking, the Nagorno Karabakh's officials expressed gratitude
    to the U. S. Congress and American nation on behalf of the Artsakh
    people for adherence to eternal values, such as freedom and
    democracy, as well as for humanitarian assistance to Nagorno
    Karabakh.
    Upon the measure's completion the NKR delegation also met with the U.
    S. Armenian Caucus Co-Chairs Congressmen Frank Pallone and Joe
    Knollenberg.
    The meeting's participants touched upon the issues referring to the
    present social-economic situation in the NKR, development of
    democracy in Artsakh, the U. S. Assistance to NKR and Nagorno
    Karabakh conflict settlement.
    Nagorno Karabakh delegation's working visit to the U. S. began June
    23 and will last till June 30.
