/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The recent events in South Ossetia proved that
conflicts can’t be resolved by use of force, OSCE Minsk Group French
Co-chair, Ambassador Bernard Fassier said in Yerevan today.

"Both sides will suffer if military operations are resumed in
Karabakh. And the merit of the Minsk Group is that it prevented
resumption of hostilities," he said.

"Both Armenia and Azerbaijan suffered from the 5-day war in South
Ossetia. Transportation of Armenian cargo was frozen. The BTC pipeline
stopped functioning. The consequences of war in Karabakh will be
horrible. And I am hopeful that the South Caucasus states understood
that war is not the way to resolve conflicts," Amb. Fassier said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
