prominent political figures, including Giro Manoyan, the International Secretariat of ARF, Armen Rustamyan, a National Assembly Deputy representing ARF
Dashnaktsutyun and a meeting with Mr Gegham Gharibjanian, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Mr Pound then travelled to Nagorno Karabakh where he met Mr Georgy Petrossian,
the NKR Foreign Minister, Mr Ashot Ghoulian, Speaker of the NKR National Assembly and others.
