“We believe that any document, which was discussed and developed without the participation of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, is simply not viable,” said Minister of Foreign Affairs of Nagorno Karabakh, Karen Mirzoyan during a briefing, concerning official Karabakh’s position on Madrid Principles, reports NKR MFA press service.

“And this is not only а conviction, but also a logical conclusion. That is why we insist, and you know our official view, that the Karabakh should return to the negotiation table as full-fledged party to the negotiation process. By saying the negotiation process we mean all its stages; from putting forward certain ideas to the development of a common philosophy of negotiations, also, if possible, the joint discussion of the arrangements reached, agreeing upon them, and, why not, also their implementation, i.e., putting them into effect,” the Minister said.

Concerning the article published by Russian Izvestia on the so-called plan of Putin or Lavrov on the Karabakh settlement, the minister noted the he is aware of the article.

“When developing and implementing the foreign policy, we are not guided by newspaper articles. Let me remind you that these days, like in previous days, numerous articles were published, that were very contradictory. In our work, we are guided by official statements of, say, Minister Lavrov, and other officials. And I advise to be guided by these statements and not by media publications,” Mirzoyan stated.
