Today British journalist Thomas de Waal is one of those people, who are well informed about the Karabakh issue. His latest book titled "Black Garden" published in Russian has become the topic of discussions by all the parties to conflict. At PanARMENIAN.Net's request Thomas de Waal commented on some questions that emerged after the regular meeting of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents in Rambouillet.

Legal basis for existence of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) is becoming increasingly important for further steps for peace settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh (NK) conflict. Azerbaijan makes more persistent statements on UN resolutions, which in Baku's opinion fully meet Azerbaijan's interests. Besides, Baku flatly objects to a referendum in NK. Chair of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs of the National Assembly of Armenia in 1995-1999 Hovhannes Igityan presents his vision of the problem to PanARMENIAN.Net.
