ArmInfo. ‘Hard situation appeared in the south Caucasus region
because of an attempt of the Georgian authorities to settle the
south Osetia conflict by means of force. Today one can say the
attempt failed. After such events one san say that Georgia itself
and its negotiating positions have not become stronger than before
this adventure. One should conclude that an attempt of forceful
settlement of any conflict is doomed to fail’, – chairman of the
permanent parliamentary commission on foreign relations of the NKR
parliament Vahram Atanesyan said at today’s press-conference, as
ArmInfo correspondent reported from Stepanakert.

He also added that "Georgia’s such adventure was supported by
Azerbaijan".

"Several Azerbaijani politicians said that if Georgia gains success
in South Osetia, in that case the arguments of the intermediaries to
settle the Karabakh conflict peacefully will be led to minimum and
Azerbaijan will get an opportunity to repeat Georgia’s experience. But
Georgia fails, this will prove once again that conflicts should be
settled only by means of talks ensuring equality of the parties and
taking their interests into account.

There is no other way for the conflicts settlement in the world’,
– Atanesyan said. He welcomed ‘harsh but adequate position of the
Russian political leadership’. He also said that by such its actions
Georgia reduced an opportunity of its joining NATO. ‘I don’t think
that NATO is interested in worsening of relations with Russia and
South Caucasus states>, – member of the NKR parliament said.
