Yerevan /Mediamax/. Spokesperson for Armenian Foreign Ministry Anna Naghdalyan has announced that the Azerbaijani community of Karabakh, regardless of the name it assumes, does not play a role in the Karabakh peace talks.

According to Anna Naghdalyan, the Foreign Ministry of Armenia will not comment on the contacts between Azerbaijani government-organized non-governmental organizations and diplomats accredited in Azerbaijan.

“Armenia reiterates its stance regarding the parties to the Karabakh conflict. Since 1992, the authorities of Artsakh have participated in the peace process as elected representatives of the people of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Together with Armenia and Azerbaijan, the authorities of Nagorno-Karabakh signed the Bishkek Protocol calling for ceasefire and the document at OSCE summit in Budapest in 1994, which established the trilateral negotiation format that was introduced in the 1994 ceasefire agreement between Nagorno-Karabakh, Azerbaijan and Armenia,” said Anna Naghdalyan.
