  Masis Mailyan: Basic principles are unacceptable to RA and NKR July 13, 2009 - 14:18 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Contents of a "Joint statement on NKR conflict" issued by RF, US and French Presidents Dmitri Medvedev, Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy don't differ much from statements issued within the frameworks of various international structures, supporting MG OSCE activities, the Chairman of Social Council for External Policy and Security, ex-NKR Deputy Foreign Minister Masis Mailyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. According to him, it's remarkable that the Presidents urge Armenian and Azeri authorities to complete coordination of conflict settlement principles, already published at OSCE official website. "Basic principles published, in case they are passed and implemented, will irreparably damage national interests of NKR and RA. Resolution, passed at All Armenian Conference in NKR, urges Armenian authorities not to sign the document. Ceding the territories, to which Armenia has both legal and historical rights, will come as a strong moral blow to Armenian people, depriving them of a will to resist," ex-NKR Deputy Foreign Minister emphasized.
