In his UN speech on September 21, French President Nicolas Sarkozy
proposed a conflict resolution 'method' that he could be used for
the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, Huliq.com reported.
Sarkozy particularly proposed admitting Palestine to the UN as a
non-member state with observer status. He said decades of negotiations
had yielded no results and was time to "change the method" to
achieve better results. According to Huliq, the French leader may
offer a similar proposal to the presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan
as a method for resolving the Karabakh conflict Welcoming Sarkozy's
proposal, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said was not a
surprise to his country.
"The speech of President Sarkozy had some aspects which are discussed
in the international community, so it was not a surprise for us,"
he was quoted as saying.
"Now the question is, since Nicolas Sarkozy is heading to South
Caucasus and is meeting with the Armenian president on Sept. 27, could
this or a similar package be offered as a solution to the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict, the people of which struggle for independence
and freedom? From the words of the German Foreign Minister it can be
concluded that there is an internationally discussed "package" that may
be applied to inter-ethnic conflict resolution. Sarkozy's points about
two sides not trusting each other, the need for changing the method
and giving the people hope with mutual recognition holds true for
the case of Nagorno Karabakh as well," says the author of the article.
