The negotiations over Nagorno Karabakh are not an end in itself, however the NKR authorities are ready to discuss any issues, which do not infringe upon Karabakh people's rights and do not threaten their security, Nagorno Karabakh Republic Foreign Minister Georgy Petrossian stated at a meeting with Vice Speaker of the British Parliament House of Lords Baroness Caroline Cox.

«The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is a complicated one, as a large number of interests are coming into collision here. These have special urgency in the light of the latest developments 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 its 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.
«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 strategic way for us»,- Georgy Petrossian emphasized, reports the NKR MFA Press Service.
