/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Neither 2006, nor any other coming year can make a
«break» in settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, as bloody
conflicts like this can be settled only on the expiry of long time,
Chair of the Standing Commission for Defense and Security of the
Supreme Council of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in 1992-1995,
Chairman of Tradition NGO Valery Balayan stated in an interview with a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. In his words, forecasting the exact number
of years necessary for that is impossible. A break is being just
outlined in the settlement of the Cyprus issue after 30 years, no
break can be seen in the Palestinian issue. `Please, recall how long
the conflict on the Indo-Chinese peninsula lasted, while issues have
remained until now. This is also true of any conflict of the 20th
century,’ he said.
In Balayan’s opinion, to make the terms shorter, the negotiations
should be intensified, the format of the talks should be expanded,
society should participate, confidence measures should be
arranged. `The conflict will not be settled for no particular
reason. It is a very hard work and it demands qualified and
professional approach,’ he emphasized.
As of a repeated referendum in the NKR, Balayan believes that comments
are unnecessary here. `In their time Azeris of Nagorno Karabakh just
refused from participation in it. I do not see what can change their
viewpoint now or on the expiry of the term, invented by the ICG,’ the
Tradition NGO Chair said.
