Many diplomats, heads of military centers and organizations and the representatives of the Armenian community participated in the discussion. The Karabakh officials presented the NKR position on the Karabakh conflict settlement, referred to the historical background of the conflict and to the current phase of peaceful settlement. The NKR NA Speaker presented the legal and historic bases of the NKR proclamation and establishment underlying their compliance with international norms and experience. While speaking of the regional developments he noted that NKR realizes the interests of the USA and other countries in South Caucasus, and at the same time Karabakh expects them to realize its own interests.
The NKR Foreign Minister focused on the current format of the negotiations which doesn’t reflect the real picture of the conflict as the Azeri side refuses to negotiate with the NKR. In the same way, Azerbaijan distorted the possibility of the conflict legal settlement in 1988 by converting it into ethno-political conflict. At the end of their speech the NKR representatives answered the participants’ questions.
Further on the Karabakh delegation met with Congressman Nita Low member of Subcommittee on Foreign Operations of the House of Representatives. The delegates presented him the social-economic situation in the NKR, the democratic achievements of the country and the latest developments of the Karabakh conflict settlement.
