"Different techniques are applied to regulate the conflicts of South
Ossetia and Nagorno-Karabakh," Avet Adonts, member of the Bargavach
Hayastan Party (BHK), Armenian delegate to the Parliamentary Assembly
of the Council of Europe (PACE), said to A1+ in Strasbourg. "The
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is resolved within the framework of the
OSCE Minsk group, i.e. three powerful countries, the USA, Russia and
France, deal with the conflict resolution."

"The same is not true about the case of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. I
think we have chosen the best way: to regulate the conflict and define
the country’s status through negotiations," adds the Armenian MP.

Avet Adonts also detailed why Armenia doesn’t recognise the
independence of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

"Karabakh’s status is to be defined through negotiations. If Armenia
recognises Karabakh’s independence it means the negotiations are
needless. I do think that the conflict should be resolved only through
negotiations otherwise we shall have the same scene as is in South
Ossetia."

Reminder, the PACE session will resume the discussions of the
consequences of the Russian-Georgian war on October 2.
