ArmInfo. Bulgaria understands very well that this is an open wound for
Armenia and Azerbaijan, Prime Minister of Bulgaria Sergei Stanishev
said today over the meeting with the speaker of the Armenian parliament
Tigran Torosyan.

As Arminfo was informed from press-service of the Armenian parliament,
over the meeting Sergei Stanishev said that despite difficulty of the
talks Balkan experience shows it is better to negotiate for 365 days
than to fight a day. Bulgaria sees only peaceful settlement of the
Karabakh conflict via the talks. He also added that there is certain
risk on this way, in particular, stemming from the economic situation
Azerbaijan is searching for the military settlement of the conflict.

They said at the meeting that when there was a chance to sign an
Agreement, the Azerbaijani party refused to do it. Tigran Torosyan
agreed that there is risk of the battle actions restart, but he is sure
that Azerbaijan will take the point of the Azerbaijani constitution
into account, as it says that conflicts should be settled peacefully.
