Azerbaijan Has One Goal: to Blacken Everything Relating to KarabakhSeptember 12, 2006 - 19:09 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - «The proposal on monitoring over the fires was our initiative and only after that Azerbaijan raised a clamor. It is absolutely clear that this is artificial stir, as the Azeris are the «authors» of the fires and propaganda,» NKR President Arkady Ghoukassian said. In his words, the problem is that the NKR has addressed international institutions for many times, asking to send an expert group, as NK is interested for the international community to have a clear notion of the situation in Karabakh. «Azerbaijan has one goal: to blacken everything relating to Karabakh,» the President said.As of discussion of the Karabakh issue at the UN, the NKR leader considered it a destructive approach. «It is absolutely clear that an attempt to transfer the issue to international organizations other than the OSCE will result in a mess, which is not favorable either to the parties to the conflict or the peace process,» he remarked. Ghoukassian regretted that NK is not represented in international institutions. «Armenia has clearly stated its position and comes against transfer of discussion to other institutions. In my opinion diplomacy is the best tool, thus Armenian diplomacy should be more active. Unfortunately, in the created situation the Azeri diplomatic corps attacks constantly and we have to defend ourselves. I suppose time has come for counter-attacking,» the NKR President underscored, reports KarabakhOpen.
