/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Continuous blames of sides on each other will not
result in any solution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The sides have
their role in the situation when the process has reach a deadlock,
stated German Home Office State Secretary, deputy and member of
Caucasus group of Bundestag Christoph Bergner. In his words, German’s
official position is that borders of states are inviolable and they
need respectful treatment. "Alongside, we must accept peoples right
to self-determination. In this regard, as a man, who has thorough
information on the problem, I would not like to justify any side,"
Bergner said.

He also reminded that the problem of root nation presence existed
still from the former Soviet Union.

"The start of struggle for independence created conflicts. It is well
known fact that during Soviet Union period this problem deliberately
was being settled in secret conditions. When I examine events of
reconstruction and democracy period I see that the regime used to treat
people and events with the help of violence and weapons. I witnessed
and participated in many events, talks and discussions during my
chairmanship in the Bundestag Group for friendship with Caucasus. You
should take into account future common interests. They base on
cooperation with the European Union. In many respects it depends
on stability in the region," he said. The German Home Office State
Secretary stressed he relates to people’s rights to self-determination
attentively, but "the most important thing is protection of territories
and the issue to bring them back to former situation."

"The international community and Europe lay responsibilities on
us. Karabakh conflict is one of such problems, which have influence
from Arab countries till Africa. We must solve this problem by all
means. Otherwise it can enlarge and result in more global dangers. We
cannot refuse from this responsibility, he underscored, APA reports.
