Baku's policy hampers efforts of international community to resolve Karabakh conflict
Azeri authorities annually increase expenses on acquiring arms and mercenaries. They have not stopped anti-Armenian propaganda in official media for a single minute," NKR President Arkadi Ghukassian stated in his lecture at the Russian-Armenian (Slavonic) University. He said, Baku's such policy hampers efforts of the international community in the face of the OSCE Minsk Group on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement.

"Unfortunately, during past years the government of Ilham Aliev has not made a single step to form a positive image of Azerbaijan in the eyes of NKR people, which might result in establishing atmosphere of confidence. Currently because of official Baku's opposition OSCE cannot bring the negotiation process to conformity with documents of OSCE Budapest summit, where NKR was fixed as a conflicting party," the President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic said.
