"One may only welcome the statement of the Great Eight countries on maintenance of the mediation efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group and on necessity of coordination of the core principles of the peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict," stated NKR FM Georgy Petrosyan, when commenting on statements made during G8 summit in St. Petersburg. In his words, Nagorno Karabakh has always advocated peaceful resolution of the problem and is ready to exert every effort to come to agreement over establishing long-term peace in the region. Unfortunately, not everything depends on the mediators. Considering Azerbaijan's extremely destructive position and its unwillingness to be in any contact with Nagorno Karabakh it is very difficult to find an acceptable and fair solution to date, the Minister said. In his words, the President of the Russian Federation has fairly noted that Russia is not going to impose any solutions on the parties to the conflict and that the compromise must be reached by people. Taking into account the Russian Federation's readiness to become a guarantor of fulfillment of the agreements, we remind once more that the achievement of solutions, directly concerning the future of our country and our people, is possible only with participation of representatives of legally elected authorities of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, the main and the most suffered party to the conflict," reports IA Regnum.
