The Foreign Ministry of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic has commented on the recent statement of U.S. Co-Chair of the OSCE Minsk Group James Warlick. 

“We consider it necessary to note that the position of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic on the prospects of settlement of the Azerbaijan-Karabakh conflict remains unchanged.

"Any return to the past is out of question. The fate of Nagorno-Karabakh has been determined by its people through a free and legitimate expression of will in the 1991 referendum on independence. NKR independence and security are absolute values that are not subject to any bargaining.

"We believe that the joint efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group should focus on the development of such settlement mechanisms that stem from current realities and provide conditions for the peaceful coexistence of two independent states - the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan – that emerged as a result of the collapse of the USSR and the war unleashed by Azerbaijan.”
