Nalbandian: next stage of talks impossible without NKR consent

The next stage of talks on the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement is impossible unless NKR itself gives consent to the basic principles, Armenia’s top diplomat said.

“The second stage of the process envisages development of a peace agreement and Artsakh should be a party to negotiations,” Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said during a joint press conference with his Swedish counterpart Carl Bildt.

“The people of Nagorno Karabakh are the masters of their fate,” the Armenian Minister emphasized.
