/PanARMENIAN.Net/ It is impossible to solve the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict through increasing the number of mediators of OSCE MG. The key
of settlement is in the hands of conflicting countries and presidents,
stated German Home Office State Secretary, deputy and member of
Caucasus group of Bundestag Christoph Bergner. In his opinion, "it is
necessary to grant Nagorno Karabakh autonomy and to respectfully treat
other small nations." "In fact it is possible to introduce cantons
in the South Caucasus like in Switzerland. This is my personal idea,
which proceeds from principles and tasks of activity in the work with
small nations. I think various nations must closely cooperate with
each other, have relations. Here our responsibilities and duties are
in the first place. We do not have right to withdraw," Bergner said.
Alongside he underlined that predominant countries do not want to
see the region in tension for a long period. "I don’t imagine, say,
this tension can serve to the United States interests in the region. I
wish to see this conflict settled in 2007. But I do not see positive
impulses aimed at speeding-up the process.
These impulses must proceed from the sides themselves.
I think the nations of two countries should restrain the growth of
emotions," stated the Bundestag member, APA reports.
