RA Foreign Ministry: NKR people’s position – first priority in Karabakh conflict settlementMay 5, 2010 - 20:53 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - NKR people’s position, expressed at 1991 referendum, is the first priority in Karabakh conflict settlement, Armenian Foreign Ministry spokesman Tigran Balayan stated. Commenting on official Baku’s allegations on Armenia’s “requesting for some time to resolve Karabakh conflict” and “absence of clear position” on the issue, the spokesman noted, “Armenia always remained firm in its position. Azerbaijan is just wasting time; sooner or later it will have to reckon with the free will of Karabakh people.” As Tigran Balayan noted, failing to find understanding in their destructive position, some Azeri officials can think of nothing better than showing off in front of their own people through endless chain of falsifications and saber-rattling, RA Foreign Ministry press service reported.
