NKR conflict is far from settled between Yerevan and BakuJuly 14, 2009 - 20:45 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Currently, NKR conflict is far from settled between Yerevan and Baku. RA FM Edward Nalbandian's statement on the principles which remain undiscussed by conflicting parties, is a proof of it, politologist Suren Zolyan told a news conference in Yerevan. "Much as NKR conflict settlement principles are discussed, one thing is clear: there still are many countries with uncoordinated positions," Armenian politologist noted. Suren Zolyan characterized the statement of MG OSCE Co-Chairs as unprecedented. "If earlier NKR-related Presidential statements used to carry a more formal character, the recent statement by Obama, Medvedev and Sarkozy is a firm instruction to RA and Azeri Presidents," the politologist stressed. "Still, no territorial issued can be discussed until NKR status is determined," Zolyan emphasized.
