Armenia has to pave the way for NKR's re-involvement in negotiation process

PanARMENIAN.Net - "Negotiation process on NKR conflict settlement is already lunched. Several years ago we witnessed meetings between Azeri and Armenian leaders, but not the conflict settlement process, Head of Analytical Center for Globalization and Regional Collaboration," Stepan Grigoryan told a news conference in Yerevan.



"During negotiations MG OSCE Co-Chairs proposed a new formula for conflict settlement based on principles of territorial integrity, right for self-determination and non-use of force. Turkey's active participation in the process has also played an important role," he noted.



"Armenia and Azerbaijan gave a positive assessment to their meeting in Prague. Yet, later, the Azeri part, having realized that negotiations have taken an unfavorable course for Azerbaijan, characterized Yerevan's position as destructive."



"The right course would be for Yerevan and Baku to take more efforts in achieving a peaceful settlement, instead of focusing on Madrid principles, perceived subjectively on each part - Azerbaijan supporting the idea of territorial integrity, and Armenia - that of self-determination right."



"NKR will sooner or later participate in negotiations. Armenia has to pave the way for NKR's re-involvement in negotiation process," Stepan Grigoryan concluded.
