YEREVAN, AUGUST 14, ARMENPRESS: The use of force in the solution of
all the conflicts must be excluded, they must be solved only around
the table of negotiations, including the Karabakh conflict regulation
issue, Russian ambassador to Armenia Nikolay Pavlov said today at
a press conference in the Russian embassy in Armenia. He did not
want to comment on the statement of the Azerbaijani side which says
that the step of Georgia shows that Azerbaijan also can restore its
territorial integrity through force. "I do not want to comment on
such statements," Pavlov said.
According to him, the best way of the Karabakh conflict regulation
is the negotiation process conducted with the frameworks of the OSCE
Minsk Group. "It is important that the negotiations between the two
countries continue – presidents, foreign ministers meet with each
other. It gives hope that the Karabakh issue will be solved in a
peaceful way. The latest Georgian-Ossetian developments may be a good
lesson for all the countries who want to solve issues using force,"
the ambassador said.
