Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be solved by compromise
by Natalia Simorova, Yulia Nemchenko
The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict “should be resolved by compromise,”
Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanyan said in Moscow on Thursday.
“We will gain nothing if the sides will each continue to insist on
its own stand,” he said. “The conflict has lasted for 15 years,”
the minister recalled. “We have not progressed an inch toward its
solution.”
He remarked, “Over this period of time people of Nagorno-Karabakh
proved that they can govern themselves.” “This is the main
criterion of the judgement that the method of self-determination will
be effective,” Vartan Oskanyan said.
