/PanARMENIAN.Net/ When addressing the 116th session of the Council of
Ministers of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, Armenian Minister of
Foreign Affairs Vartan Oskanian addressed the issue of settlement of
the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. “Upon membership, Armenia and
Azerbaijan made a commitment to see a peaceful resolution of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict,» he said. «There are positive
elements in the negotiations process in which we have been involved
over these last several years, but that can produce results only if
the parties understand – and clearly declare – that they don’t have a
military option here.

Europe offers a new context for negotiation: regional cooperation and
post-war reconciliation. This is the Europe – the place of peace and
cooperation – to which our two countries belong, ” Vartan Oskanian
remarked, reports the Armenian MFA Press Service.
