    GEORGY PETROSSIAN: MEDIATORS FOCUSED THEIR ATTENTION NOT ON ESSENCE OF
    CONFLICT BUT ON LIQUIDATION OF CONFLICTS' CONSEQUENCES

    STEPANAKERT, JULY 27, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. On July 27,
    Nagorno Karabakh Republic Foreign Minister Georgy Petrossian received
    Vice Speaker of the British Parliament House of Lords Baroness Caroline
    Cox and a delegation, which had arrived with her in Stepanakert.

    On the request of the guests the Head of the NKR Foreign Office dwelt
    upon the process of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement in the
    context of recent regional and world events. "The Nagorno Karabakh
    conflict is a complicated one, as a great number of interests are
    coming into collision here, which acquire a special urgency from the
    standpoint of the recent events in the region and in the world on
    the whole", - Georgy Petrossian said.

    The Minister noted that the existing format of the negotiations on the
    Karabakh conflict settlement did not reflect the core of the conflict.

    Unfortunately, today, the mediators focused their attention not on
    the essence of the conflict but on the liquidation of the conflicts'
    consequences. We emphasize once more that without the participation
    of Nagorno Karabakh - the most suffered party to the conflict, the
    achievement and realization of any agreements are impossible," -
    Georgy Petrossian said.

    Having noted that the negotiations for Nagorno Karabakh are not an
    end in itself, the Minister expressed the NKR authorities' readiness
    to discuss any issues, which do not infringe upon Karabakh people's
    rights and do not threaten their security.

    The interlocutors also touched upon the issues of democratic
    development of Nagorno Karabakh and its integration into international
    processes.

    As Noyan Tapan was informed from NKR Foreign Ministry Press Service,
    the interlocutors also discussed issues relating to NKR democratic
    development and its integration to international processes: "Today,
    we face a task of development but not a survival. In this connection
    we attach great importance to democratization processes. The freer
    are the people, the more protected are their rights in our country
    the stronger we shall be. It is a strategical way for us",- Georgy
    Petrossian emphasized.

    Baroness Cox and the delegation members, headed by her, expressed
    their readiness to assist Nagorno Karabakh in asserting its interests
    on the international scene and in announcing truthful information to
    the world community.
