YEREVAN. – Any regional security model must take into account Nagorno-Karabakh factor, Karabakh Foreign Minister Karen Mirzoyan said in Yerevan during an international forum.

Speaking during the “Dynamics of Regional Security in the South Caucasus”, the Minister underscored necessity of taking efforts to make the peace process inevitable and take concrete measures to maintain cease-fire. Potential of the OSCE Minsk Group has not been exhausted but it is necessary to ensure official Stepanakert’s full participation in talks.  

“Azerbaijan continues traditional policy based on threat of force. Baku violates its commitment to prepare Azerbaijani people to peace,” he stressed. Reminding the forum participants that the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is an established state, Mirzoyan said the current status must not be an obstacle to cooperation.
