Special representative of the President of the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly on Nagorno Karabakh conflict and Georgia Goran Lennmarker
called Armenia a weak and small country, which could pay more attention
not to the conflict but to economy.

"There are many nuances in the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict. Armenia is a small and weak state. Therefore, it should
pay more attention not to the conflict but to restoration of economy
and energy issues", said Goran Lennmarker Friday at the meeting with
members of the Azerbaijani delegation in OSCE Parliamentary Assembly,
according to Novosti-Azerbaijan.

According to the special representative, there must be a limit for
"gold opportunities" in the resolution of the Karabakh conflict.

"There years ago in my report on the resolution of the Karabakh
conflict I stressed "gold opportunity". But today I can not say how
long this process will last", noted he.

According to him, there can not be "gold opportunities", this process
cannot last for long.

The resolution of this conflict is favorable not only for Azerbaijan
and the regional countries, but also for a number of other countries",
said the special representative.

Lennmarker also added that the conflict resolution will promote
return of refugees and IDPs to their lands and "this will be a great
success". The special representative also said that political will
plays an important role in the resolution of the conflict.
