COLLECTED ARTICLES ON KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT PRESENTED IN YEREVAN TODAY
YEREVAN, MARCH 9. ARMINFO. A collection of articles entitled “Nagorno
Karabakh Conflict: Searching for Solutions” was presented in Yerevan
today. The book has been published by the Spectrum strategic analysis
center (Armenia) and Sania humanitarian information and analysis
agency under the CE Confidence Building program.
Spectrum Director Gayane Novikova says that the goal of the project
was to reveal the role of the Karabakh conflict in the public opinion
of the Armenians and Azeris, to see if the sides are ready to agree
on some solution and to search for ways to normalize Armenian-Azeri
relations.
Novikova says that the Karabakh conflict is very difficult to
resolve. Its unsettled state is having a serious impact on the life
of both Armenian and Azeri peoples. No settlement efforts have given
any tangible results so far. The key obstacle is different approaches
to its resolution by the conflicting parties. It’s here that public
opinion can and should help. Novikova notes that the public opinion
of Karabakh has not been surveyed under the project.
Vice Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Tigran Torossyan highly
appreciates the project noting that the Karabakh conflict settlement
process has entered a new phase and that Europe is becoming more
and more interested in its resolution considering South Caucasus a
potentially European region.
