/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "The negotiations are held by the governments of
Armenia and Azerbaijan and by the Presidents of the two states. This
format has no alternative," said Mr Dennis Sammut, Executive Director
of LINKS and Director of the Political Strand of the Consortium
Initiative.

There is time and possibility to encourage the process, according
to him.

"I think the role of parliamentarians is very important, since they
also should engage in the talks and be in the know. Azeri and Armenian
parliamentarians should promote talks held by the leadership. Besides,
representatives of NGOs and intelligentsia can also establish
contacts," he said.

"Only 5 per cent of this potential is used, the most serious reason
for it being the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. The parties to conflict
should work harder while the international community should take a
more serious stand and contribute to resolution of the conflict. That’s
what we are trying to do. Our activities cover not only Azerbaijan and
Armenia but also UK and Belgium and other states in order to introduce
the Karabakh problem into the international agenda," Mr Sammut said,
