WANT PEACE, PREPARE TO …

Rose-Roth NATO PA International seminar dedicated to the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict and the role of international community in it, is taking place in
Yerevan in these days. During the seminar the International Crisis Group
representative Sabin Freiser informed about the content of negotiations on
Karabakh conflict. Taking into consideration the observations of the
International Crisis Group Mrs. Freiser informed, `I think that next year
it’ll be possible to get the peace agreement, in case if it is not this
year.’ She also noticed that in Key West the sides were more than close to
the possible solution but it didn’t happen and added,’I’ll be optimistic
when I see that the governments through Mass-media are trying to explain the
people what is peace’.

OSCE PA Special Representative on Nagorno-Karabakh issue Goran Lennmarker
thinks that there is some progress in negotiating procedure and for reaching
mutual beneficial agreement the sides must do only one thing that is, to
prepare both societies for the possible solution. Optimism of two
representatives concerning to the positive solution of negotiating procedure
is based on the obtained arrangements in the frameworks of Minsk group.
According to their reports the conflict will be solved by stages. The first
stage is to give back of seven liberated territories, then to open regional
transportation communications and Armenian-Turkish border as well, the next
stage is resettling refugees. And only after 10-15 years, peace makers will
talk about the Nagorno Karabakh status.

But as some experts note presently this resolution can not be implemented as
the offered consensuses by Karabakh, Armenia and Azerbaijan do not satisfy
the demands of the sides. /Panorama.am/
