YEREVAN. - The parties of Karabakh conflict should display will to
resolve the dispute, Polish Ambassador to Armenia Zdzislaw Raczynski
told a press conference in Yerevan on Thursday.
"Seeking new formats for the conflict resolution is inexpedient,
as it may dilute the negotiation process," he added.
The diplomat emphasized the sides were close to the conflict settlement
at different stages of the peace process. However, the leaders of
two countries failed to make decisive moves because of existing
domestic problems.
Referring to the recent ceasefire violations by the Azerbaijani side,
as a result of which the Armenian side incurred losses, the official
said a tensed atmosphere between the parties to the conflict has
been preserved for decades and shots have often been heard in the
line of contact.
"It is easy to destroy targets, taking into account the distance
between the armed forces of two states, which sometimes reaches 1-2
km, as well as the current technical capabilities. The best of my
knowledge, 11 Armenian servicemen have been killed since the beginning
of this year," he noted.
The Ambassador stressed there is no other solution to the conflict,
except for a compromise settlement with participation of the world
community.
"I understand your patriotic feelings, but you must understand
Azerbaijani side also has such feelings. Moreover, the Azerbaijani
side is affected by the defeat in the Karabakh war," he said.
Raczynski noted that conflicts in the South Caucasus slow down the
development of the region and exert pressure on economies.
