Armenian-Azerbaijani forum, organized by `International Alert’
organization, focused on the peaceful resolution of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict launched in Vienna, Austria. The OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmen
Mattew Bryza, Bernard Fassier and Yuri Merzliakov have also attended
the forum. Bernard Fassier mentioned that compromising does not mean
to be defeated. The French diplomat mentioned that a new war could
start after the adoption of NKR independence and its return to
Azerbaijan.
He has also stressed that Madrid principles are not the perfect ones
but a half-perfect compromise is better than a perfect war.
American co-chair Mattew Bryza said that the societies keep fair to
their positions whereas some feeling of reliability is created between
Sargsyan and Aliev.
