/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is
really a protracted one but the way of settlement has
been accurately selected, said Georgy Ter-Ghazaryants,
the First Vice President of Union of Armenians of
Russia (UAR).

According to him, the Presidents of the two countries
began the way of resolving this conflict through
talks, Heydar Aliyev, the ex-President of Azerbaijan,
took the first steps and began the process of talks,
which lasted and got transferred to Ilham Aliyev.

Ter-Ghazaryants said that 2007 was a useful year from
the point of view of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement. The Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia
held six meetings. He said that during the meeting
with the delegation of the UAR in Yerevan, the
President of Armenia, Robert Kocharian, expressed
satisfaction with the final meeting with his
Azerbaijani counterpart, and stated that both sides
reached an agreement to make no comments about the
results.

The First Vice President considers that the
confidentiality will be useful for the people of both
the sides, any information leakage may be wrongly
accepted and expected that the early information may
yield negative results. `After the Presidents reach an
agreement, a great deal of work should be carried out
to inform the publics, so that they also accept the
decisions taken. These decisions will affect the
territorial nuances. Of course, there are territories
that are not in need of impingement. They have never
been the territories of Armenia. However, there are
certain issues on which they have themselves reached
at an agreement and yet these have not been
publicized,’ he said.

According to him, even European experts confirm that
the recent meetings of the Presidents of Azerbaijan
and Armenia inspire the signs of settling the issue.
Ter-Gazaryants stressed that in the recent period; the
several actions have been carried out, which are
considered accurate. According to him, the public
should be prepared to live their usual life. He
recollected the visit of Azeri and Armenian
intellectuals to Stepanakert, Yerevan and Baku, and
important meetings with the Presidents. The efforts of
the popular diplomacy are in demand because the issue
will not be resolved without the public opinion,
Ter-Ghazaryants stated, Trend reports.
