NKR many times stated that ready to negotiate with Azerbaijan and to discuss various issues, unfortunately, Azerbaijan refused from negotiations, NKR Foreign Minister Georgy Petrosyan said.

"In my opinion, Azerbaijan has no grounds for such a persistant refusal from direct relations with us. We have repeatedly said that without taking into account the opinion of the Nagorno Karabakh's people settlement is very unlikely to be productive. This is perhaps the only example of a state not recognized by anyone," he said. 
 
The Nagorno-Karabakh foreign minister also stressed that international law is very clearly states that political situation in the country does not depend on whether it is   admitted or denied. "Since 1992 we have proved that we are able to build a statehood, and this is the base of our overall current policy. Sooner or later the question of recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh independence will receive its solution. We have quite restrained attitude towards political events in our region, and we never take hostile actions in the information field. I hope this is appreciated by both the international community, and our enemy.

We offer the other side of the conflict to behave similarly, as well as to all those countries that try to speculate or put the the Karabakh problem settlement at the service of their interests. It is clear that the solution to the problem is a matter of time. Time is an irreversible category," Mr. Petrosian said in an interview to the NTV Turkish television channel.
