Baku – APA. "The Nagorno Karabakh conflict can be solved because it was
not frozen", Special Representative of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly
for Nagorno Karabakh and Georgian conflicts Goran Lennmarker said in
his address to the 73rd Rose Roth workshop of the NATO Parliamentary
Assembly in Armenia. He said the solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict
is not outside, but inside the region. "The outside forces can only
assist the conflicted sides. The Minsk Group is only play-ground for
the conflict solution and any attempt to transfer the problem UN or
Council of Europe play-grounds can prolong the solution".
Lennmarker said the solution should be determined in such manner that
all sides could accept it. "I think the conflict solution should
provide security of Armenia and Armenian people. Azerbaijan should
understand that. But Armenia also must understand the position of
Azerbaijan, which consider itself as a victim and defeated side of
the conflict",
The special representative said the solution to the conflict was
found and discussed in details and there were few steps to be taken
by the sides. "The solution is in a political level mostly and the
sides should be ready for domestic discussions".
Lennmarker said Yerevan had political will to solve the problem and
Baku would also demonstrate its willingness. "The most important issue
is to solve the Karabakh conflict. There can be a question only about
the soonest solution".
