    Jose Lello: NATO advocates a peaceful solution for the unresolved
    conflicts

    `Finding a solution to the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, as well as
    other territorial conflicts in the South Caucasus, is vital to the
    security, stability and economic growth of the region. The Alliance has
    repeatedly expressed its support for the independence, sovereignty and
    territorial integrity of the countries in the South Caucasus. But it
    has to be stressed that the mandate to resolve the regional conflicts
    rests with other international organisations, such as the OSCE and the
    UN. NATO advocates a peaceful solution for the unresolved conflicts but
    does not seek to assume a direct role in finding them,' President of
    the NATO Parliamentary Assembly Jose Lello said in an interview with
    Trend agency.

    `The NATO PA, for its part, has kept the issue of the unresolved
    conflicts in the South Caucasus, and in particular the Nagorno-Karabakh
    conflict, on its agenda and is determined to continue acting as a forum
    for all relevant parties to exchange views. We will also work to
    facilitate confidence- and consensus-building measures. We are
    concerned with the rise of military budgets in the region and strongly
    plead against a military solution to the conflict that could only lead
    to further instability,' Jose Lello said.
