Baku, July 11, AssA-Irada — Lebanon could use its experience on
conflict resolution to facilitate settlement to the Armenia-Azerbaijan
Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh dispute upon request of the sides, its
foreign minister visiting Armenia has said.
Fawzi Sallukh said military action would not bring victory to
either side. "Azerbaijan and Armenia should make efforts to solve
the conflict in peace considering their national interests." The
Lebanese official invited Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanian
to his country to attend a meeting of the joint commission on economic
cooperation.
"The relations between the two countries are on a high level. During
a recent meeting with Oskanian, we held discussions on regional,
international and energy issues," Sallukh said.*
