PACE: Karabakh Issue Should Be Solved for Sake of Young Generation
29.04.2006 19:20 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Nagorno Karabakh conflict `should be solved for
the sake of the young generation first of all,’ President of the
Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) René van der
Linden said. `Solving conflict is always difficult, however after my
visit to the region it was obvious to me that both parties have the
desire to settle the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. There are many people
outside Armenia, who push Armenian government and opposition in a
certain direction. I am sure the future of the young residents of
Armenia is much more important than the feelings of Armenians
outside,’ the PACE President said.
Answering a question on the prospects of settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh issue in 2006, René van der Linden said, `I hope for it. The
international community wishes to help, however, it is hard to solve
problems when there is lack of political will. It is utterly important
for political parties, the government and opposition form an
atmosphere favorable for taking decisions. If you exploit the
situation for electoral goals, you cannot solve the issue,’ he said,
