A long-term decision reached over Nagorno-Karabakh settlement should be
acceptable for all three sides, Poland's Ambassador to Armenia Zdislav
Rachinski told reporters Monday. "The opinion of 140 thousand people
cannot be disregarded, especially that their fate is being determined,"
he highlighted. To make things sound clear, Ambassador explained:
"The three sides are Armenia, Azerbaijan and the Armenian community
of Nagorno-Karabakh."
Referring to Resolution 2216 passed by the European Parliament, the
Ambassador said Poland takes a neutral position in Nagorno-Karabakh
settlement process and like the international community, it thinks that
the conflict should be regulated peacefully, basing on the principles
of the territorial integrity and people's self-determination.
The Polish Ambassador also said the principles of the territorial
integrity and people's self-determination actually contradict each
other.
"To speak about which of them is primary is the same as argue what
came first: hen or egg?" Rachinski said.
Speaking about EU's support to Nagorno-Karabakh settlement, the
Ambassador said EU support cannot be an optimal solution, though, when
the sides reach agreement and they need financial or peace-keeping
support, the EU will help.
