THERE WILL BE NO WAR

[07:45 pm] 07 April, 2006

«There must not be any war in the settlement of the
Karabakh conflict», Mher Shahgeldyan, head of the NA
Standing Committee on Defense, National Security and
Internal Affairs thinks because of several reasons.
First of all, the international community and the
international organizations will not accept the
military solution, and for the second, the RA attitude
is the same: the conflict must be solved peacefully,
via negotiations.

«Both the RA and the NKR armed forces must be on the
proper level to secure the protection of the country.
The correlation between the armed forces of the
countries shows that the way out of the conflict is
through negotiations», Mher Shahgeldyan said in the
«Pastark» club.

According to him, the negotiations have not reached a
deadlock. «This was a phase of the negotiation
process. The year 2006 can be a good chance to record
progress as the solution can be more complicated
during the coming years. The continuation of the
negotiation process is extremely important. It is also
important to find the approaches to mutual agreements
and compromise».

And what is Azerbaijan ready for? «I think Azerbaijan
must be eager to make compromise, but I can’t say
exactly what they will do».

According to Mher Shahgeldyan, USA wants to support
the settlement of the conflict, `We must welcome the
efforts of the international organizations and the
world powers in the settlement of the Karabakh
conflict. The RA speaks with the terms of peace and
negotiations, and Azerbaijan speaks with those of war.
Our approaches correspond with those of the
international communities», he says.
