“Once more we proved our commitment to Nagorno Karabakh conflict peace settlement,” NKR President Bako Sahakyan said late January 15 during the meeting with the co-chairs. He informed that the co-chairs presented general approaches by the Armenian and Azerbaijani president and “proceeding from those opinions we may conclude that there are some points that do not stem from the interests of Karabakh people.”

In the words of the president, criticism was voiced during the meeting against the statements made by the Azerbaijani leadership which may not contribute to peaceful settlement of the conflict. “Our disposition has stayed unchanged: Karabakh security with all the demonstrations stemming from it may not be traded,” NKR leader noted.

In the opinion of NKR president, the year 2008 will become a turning point only in case Karabakh gets involved in the negotiation process as an equal party. ''However, we have also stated that we are interested that Armenia continues participating in the negotiations because it will contribute to the preservation of current peace,'' he said.
