Assa-Irada, Azerbaijan
Sept 28 2005

Finnish President Tarja Halonen has said that it is possible to
station peacekeepers in the region if the parties to the Upper Garabagh
conflict – Azerbaijan and Armenia – agree on the issue.

“If the parties agree on this, peacekeeping forces may be stationed
in the region. This, in turn, will increase Finland’s positive role
in the conflict settlement”, Halonen told a news conference held
jointly with her Armenian counterpart Robert Kocharian in Yerevan.

The Finnish President also said that the international community
‘has much work to do’ to ensure a peaceful conflict resolution.*
