Karabakh conflict settlement impossible without NKR's direct involvement
"In his statement, Russian FM Sergey Lavrov confirmed the negotiation format applying to post-Soviet conflicts," FM Edward Nalbandyan told today Parliament's Q&A session, answering Heritage faction leader Armen Martirosyan question.

In case of encouraging the statement at the current stage, it will be possible to definitely say that current MG format satisfies Armenian side whereas Azerbaijani side constantly criticizes it.

With regard to NKR's direct involvement in conflict settlement process, FM Nalbandyan said that Armenia raises the issue at all meeting with OSCE MG Co-Chairs. "Besides, Armenia constantly insists on the impossibility of drafting a final agreement or achieving any solution without NKR's direct involvement," Armenian FM stressed.
