The Nagorno Karabakh issue should be solved by the Presidents of
Armenia and Azerbaijan, the President of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenoko
said in an exclusive interview with Trend News. "I have always told the
Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia that this problem should be solved
by the two Presidents. One should not rely on any intermediaries,
although there is the OSCE Minsk Group. If Minsk as the center of this
group can contribute to resolution of the conflict, we will be happy
to do it. But only the two presidents can solve this issue," he said.
According to the President of Belarus, the involvement of
intermediaries may be good, but it binds the opinions of the third,
fourth and fifth parties. "Everyone will try to build a policy for
itself. If I reason correctly and you agree with this, then you must
agree upon the fact that the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan
can solve this problem. How to solve? First of all, it should take
place based on interests of people residing there. They cannot live
in such situation and conditions. Smart people will always find a
way to resolve it, or at least, they must find."
"Therefore, we support the process in the direction that this issue
should be resolved by the two countries, two presidents and two
peoples. Sit down, be determined and resolve. And people will always
be grateful for it," Lukashenko said.
