Yerevan (Yerkir) – Armenia has political will for settling the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, Goran Lennmarker, the Special Representative of
the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly for Nagorno Karabakh and Georgian
conflicts, said in his address to the 73rd Rose Roth workshop of the
NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Armenia.

He said he hoped Azerbaijan would do the same. He said that the Minsk
Group is the only play-ground for the conflict settlement and "any
attempt to transfer the problem to the UN or the 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 most important issue is to solve the Karabakh conflict. There
can be a question only about the soonest solution".
