STEPANAKERT. – Armenian News-NEWS.am publishes a statement of Nagorno-Karabachos (Artsakh)  NGOs.

We confirm once again all our previous statements on basic principles offered by OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs concerning Karabagh conflict settlement. And we declare that we will not accept any document signed by Armenia and Azerbaijan on those principles. We believe that no other interstate agreement can have legal status if it has a goal of limiting basic human rights, is signed under the pressure of threats or economic obligation, and violates dignity of people, who won in the struggle of national-liberation movement of Karabakh.

Karabakh NGOs are positive that the only way to establish peace between Azerbaijan and Nagorno-Karabakh is the unconditioned international recognition of the Karabagh state.

Thus, NGOs call the three presidents [Armenian, Russian, and Azerbaijani] participating in the Kazan meeting to accept existing reality and to show political will in introducing new format of negotiations. Free and peaceful development of nations in the region is guaranteed only by respecting fundamental human rights. Negotiations on this principle may open a way of peaceful solution of existing problems.
