/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `I wouldn’t like to comment on the
statements by the Russian President and look for ties
between the situation in Kosovo and Karabakh, but I am
convinced that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict can be
settled if the main condition is fulfilled. The
Karabakh people should be granted the right to decide
their future,’ Armenia Foreign Minister Vartan
Oskanian stated in an interview with Vremya Novostey
newspaper.

In his words, neither of the parties benefits from the
protraction. `Azerbaijan doesn’t rule out a military
settlement. But one should keep in mind that a
generation of people knowing no other situation but
the present one is growing in Nagorno Karabakh. And it
will be hard to change anything. We reiterate that the
resolution should be peaceful and base on compromise
by both sides,’ the RA FM stated.

At the same time he remarked that Baku’s militaristic
statements on the readiness to settle the problem by
force cause nervousness among soldiers, officers and
all those in arms. `They commence fire… Pay attention
to the fact that the ceasefire is violated not at the
Karabakh and Azeri contact line but at the contact
line of Azerbaijan and Armenia. This way Baku send
signals to the international community that the
conflict is between Armenia and Azerbaijan, what is
not true,’ Vartan Oskanian said.
