"It is necessary to find a political solution to the Nagorno Karabakh
issue through immediate dialogue, a solution that will benefit the
interests of both Armenians and Azerbaijanis," the Foreign Minister
of Syria, Bashar al-Assad, said during a joint press conference with
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian. According to him, it is
necessary to find a solution that will lead to the normalization of
relations between the two neighboring countries. Any other solution
will harm both peoples and will exert a negative influence on the
region, as a whole. "It's necessary to demonstrate courage and
political will to reach a fair solution," the Syrian Minister said.
Speaking about the resolutions on Nagorno Karabakh adopted during
the meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the member states of the
Organization of the Islamic Conference held in Damascus last week,
Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian expressed regret that
the attempts of Azerbaijan to speculate the religious principles
of the member states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference
and the dangerous attempts of that country to ascribe a religions
nature to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict resulted in the adoption
of such documents. According to Minister Nalbandian, those cannot
contribute either to20the settlement of the Karabakh issue or the
reinforcement of stability and security in the South Caucasus. The
harm the ongoing negotiations, since the documents were adopted on
the basis of distorted information. Thos resolutions distort the
nature and essence of the conflict and the ongoing talks.
"The Armenian people have centuries-long tradition of living in peace
and friendship with Muslim nations. The relations between Armenia
and Syria are one of the most vivid examples of that," the Armenian
Foreign Minister concluded.
