"Certainly I cannot reveal all the details of the talks. It's clear that our position differs from the approaches proposed by the mediators but I gave not heard any serious objections," the NKR leader said. When touching upon the proposals promulgated by the mediators Arkady Ghukasian said, "Though I cannot analyze the whole package of proposals I can say that they allow us to assert our positions."
