/PanARMENIAN.Net/ International Alert’s Projects Director for the
Eurasia Program Dessislava Roussanova made a statement on the
organization of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Public Peace Forum.
`Public dialogue is not linked to any political interpretation of the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict and doesn’t imply political resolution of
the problem,’ she said. `The principles the sides in the conflict
vindicate during political talks do not underlie the agenda of public
dialogue. The Public Peace Forum aims to create a favorable atmosphere
for resolution of the conflict. All participants bear their individual
responsibility. Being well aware of the format and principles of the
Forum, they are united by an aspiration to find a peaceful solution.’
`I believe that there are people who sincerely wish stabilization of
the region and I call all those wishing peaceful future not to damage
the bridge toward this future,’ Mrs. Roussanova said.
