    ALI LARIJANI: KARBAKH CONFLICT MUST BE SETTLED IN REGIONAL FRAMEWORK

    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.
