PanARMENIAN.Net - Regional conflicts should be settled through talks
within the framework of the region, according to Iranian Parliament
Speaker Ali Larijani.
The experience shows that conflict resolution is always put off when
great countries get engaged in it, as they pursue their own goals
in it, said Larijani commenting on the process of Nagorno Karabakh
conflict settlement.
The Speaker reminded that OSCE Minsk Group carries out negotiations
for many years. "Which are the results? What is their attitude
towards solution of this problem? From this point of view we have
all grounds to suppose that talks on similar conflicts settlement
may be more efficient if carried out inside the region, since the
countries of the region may better understand one another," reports
Trend quoting Larijani.
The summit between Russia, Azerbaijan and Armenia in Kazan on June
24 completed without an agreement on basic principles of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement. "The countries' leaders registered mutual
understanding on a range of problems, the resolution of which boosts
creation of conditions for approving main principles. The meeting
participants considered the course of works carried out with the aim
of coordination of the project with basic principles," according to
the statement. The Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan expressed
gratitude to the Russian, French and U.S. leaders, the OSCE Minsk
group co-chairs, for 'their constant attention to Nagorno-Karabakh
problem' and highly praised personal efforts of the Russian President
in support of agreements.
Later on Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbanian noted that the
June 24 meeting was not a breakthrough, as Azerbaijan proved unready
to accept the final version of the basic principles suggested by the
OSCE Minsk Group Co-chairs. Instead, the Azerbaijani leader attempted
to impose 10 new proposals, thus precluding the possibility of any
agreement on the issue," he added.
