Nalbandian says public opinion should be prepared for conflict
resolution and compromise
January 29, 2011 | 05:53
Time does not play into the hands of any of the conflicting parties to
Karabakh dispute. It is in the interests of all conflicting parties to
resolve the issue as soon as possible, Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian stated in an interview with Russia Today.
Nalbandian disagreed that the conflicting parties failed to conciliate
their positions during the negotiation process.
`We were close to the conflict resolution in Paris in 20o1, when the
talks were underway through the mediation of France. France, as an
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing country played an active role in the
peace process and the sides were very close to the conflict
settlement,' he said.
Unfortunately, the then Azerbaijani President Heydar Aliyev refused
the agreements reached in Paris and the so-called Paris principles,
which were consequently put on the paper in Key West, the minister
noted.
He explained it by the fact that Azerbaijani public opinion is not
ready for it. `A public opinion should be prepared before a conflict
resolution. A public opinion should not be warmed up by fueling the
fire what Azerbaijanis do today, but be prepared for the conflict
resolution and compromise,' the minister stressed.
