YEREVAN, MAY 12, ARMENPRESS: "The NAgorno Karabakh issue should
be settled only through peaceful means, and if the president of
Azerbaijan speaks in Baku about settling the issue through military
means, it is unacceptable for us," Ambassador Patricia Flor, German
Federal Foreign Ministry's special envoy for Eastern Europe, Caucasus
and Central Asia, stated today in an interview with Armenpress.
"Of course we understand that in this conflict the principles of
territorial integrity and self-determination of peoples clash;
however the issue should be settled through mutual concessions,"
she said. She emphasized the importance of disarmament, as well as
withdrawal of snipers for the regulation of the issue.
"We are also concerned with the arms race in the region, taking into
account the fact that Azerbaijan exceeds several times the number of
owning permissible weapons," Patricia Flor said. She said the contact
line incidents resulting in deaths are worrying as well.
