help the delegates to familiarize themselves with the existing
problems. He highly appreciated the role of OSCE PA in the process
of inter-parliamentary dialogue and pointed out the importance of
Armenia's cooperation with the assembly.
Soares pointed out the importance of Armenia's participation in the
work of OSCE PA. He said that it is time to solve the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict and urged the conflicting parties to show courage.
Abrahamyan said that the conflict must be resolved through peaceful
negotiations in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group. The main

Nagorno-Karabakh people. Any attempt to solve the conflict by war may
have unpredictable consequences for not only the conflicting parties
but for the whole region.
Abrahamyan said that Armenia advocates establishment of diplomatic
relations with TUrkey with no preconditions while TUrkey is linking
the ratification of the protocols with the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"We will ratify the protocols only when the Turkish Parliament does
it," Abrahamyan said.
