    YUSHCHENKO: UKRAINE IS READY TO SEND PEACEKEEPERS TO NK

    ForUm, Ukraine
    Sept 8 2006

    Addressing students and professors of Slavic University of Baku on
    Friday, Victor Yushchenko said Ukraine was ready to send peacekeepers
    to Azerbaijan to help settle the lasting conflict in Nagorny Karabakh.

    Ukraine believes it is necessary to recognize the territorial integrity
    of the Republic of Azerbaijan and to withdraw troops from the occupied
    territory, he said, President's press office reported.

    "The use of force and pressure yields no results and dead-ends the
    conflict," he opined.

    The Head of State also said he believed it was important to let
    refugees return to their homeland and later decide the status of the
    Karabakh autonomy at a national referendum.

    He said peacekeeping effort in the region could help stabilize the
    situation, adding Ukraine was ready to participate under the aegis
    of OSCE or the UN Security Council.

    "I told Ilham Aliyev at our meetings Ukraine was ready to offer
    peacekeepers to resolve the conflict," he said.
