The issue of refugees’ return to the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR), can only be discussed afte the conflict has been settled, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian told a news conference.

“The Azerbaijani side has claimed that the sides are discussing refugees’ return to the NKR, but I will once again say what I have already said: the issue is not being discussed now,” the Minister said. He stressed that the problem can be discussed only after security guarantees are provided. In this context he pointed out he means the return of 400,000 Armenian refugees as well.
