Foreign Ministry of Armenia: The resolution passed by Australia's New South Wales state will be adopted to pave way to the international recognition of Nagornyy Karabakh

 Armenia's FM Edward Nalbandyan started his official visit to San Jose with an October 25 meeting with Costa Rica's parliament speaker, Victor Emilio Granados.

As press-service of the Foreign ministry reported, Nalbandyan briefed Grenados on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement process, saying that Armenia's approaches are in line with the international community's positions reflected in the statements by the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing states. He also addressed Azerbaijan's continuing rejections of the proposals made. "The more Azerbaijan keeps hampering the three co-chairs' efforts towards resolving the conflict, the more commendable decisions like the resolution passed by Australia's New South Wales state will be adopted to pave way to
the international recognition of Nagornyy Karabakh," he said.

Later in the day, Nalbandyan met with the chairman of Costa Rica parliament's Standing Committee on International Relations and Foreign Trade, Maria Jeannette Ruiz Delgado, and Foreign Minister Enrique Castillo Barrantes.

Nalbandyan and his Costa Rican counterpart agreed on elaborating documents for accrediting resident ambassadors and appointing honorary consuls in Yerevan and San Jose, expanding the legal contractual cooperation, establishing a closer partnership in international organizations and relaxing visas. They both agreed to sign the documents in the course of Barrantes' scheduled visit to Yerevan.

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
