/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Poland enjoys balanced relations with the parties
to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and is ready to engage in settlement
talks, Polish Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga told a news conference
in Yerevan. The role of the OSCE Minsk Group is significant for the
negotiation process, according to her. "For Poland it’s important to be
a constructive factor in the settlement of frozen conflicts. However,
we will join the process by request of the conflicting sides only,"
she underscored adding that soonest settlement of the Karabakh conflict
in the framework of the OSCE MG will promote establishment of stability
and security in the South Caucasus.
As to the statements "on territorial integrity of states in conflict
settlement" ascribed to her by Azeri media, Ms. Fotyga said that in
the course of years she got accustomed to the fact that her words are
often misinterpreted. "Trend Azeri news agency lifted my words out of
context and represented them as the stance of the Polish government. In
actual fact, I said that all frozen conflicts should be resolved
taking into account the opinion of all the sides," she underscored.
Trend news agency quoted Anna Fotyga saying, "All frozen conflict
in the South Caucasus, including the Nagorno Karabakh one, should be
settled peacefully with respect to territorial integrity of existing
states."
