/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Karabakh conflict has no military
resolution. Azerbaijani waged the war and lost it, this time the
story will repeat, Armenia Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian stated at
a joint press conference with EU Envoy for the South Caucasus Peter
Semneby. In his words, the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be settled
peacefully. "If the Azerbaijani government demonstrates political
will the negotiation process can advance within next several months,"
he remarked.
For his part Peter Semneby noted that during his visit to Azerbaijan
he has many times said he "dislikes the statements on readiness for
a war." "Any attempt to settle the problem by force is pregnant with
negative consequences for all the parties to conflict and for the
whole region," the diplomat underscored.
Peter Semneby reiterated that Azerbaijan has made a hazardous step
by stating of the readiness to settle the Nagorno Karabakh conflict
by force. At the same time he noted that protraction of the conflict
will result in Armenia's complete isolation what will impede the
economy development.
According to Vartan Oskanian, neither of the sides benefits from
the protraction of the process. The Minister considers that the
negotiations should be continued even after the failure of the
Rambouillet talks. "Everything depends on the outcomes of Azerbaijani
FM Elmar Mammadyarov's visit to the U.S.
His meetings in the State Department will determine the date of
our meeting. Bit it's premature to speak of the rendezvous of the
Presidents yet," he said.
