Finland recognizes the problem of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. The
unsettled conflict causes repercussions for the whole region, APA
cites Ilkka Kanerva, a member of the Finnish delegation of the OSCE
PA visiting Azerbaijan, as saying.
The Finnish MP noted that the international community does not realize
how serious the conflict is. It should be better informed. The
international community could contribute to settling the conflict
because the OSCE Minsk Group failed to bring any positive results.
Kanerva noted that the problem should be settled peacefully, via
negotiations only. He ruled out use of other platforms to support
the peace process. The conflict remains unresolved for 20 years.
The Finnish official reminded that he held open and fruitful meetings
with Azerbaijani authorities. He thanked Azerbaijani MP Elkhan
Suleimanova for the invitation and the high-ranking program. Kanerva
noted that they discussed improvement of Azerbaijani and Finnish ties
on the parliamentary level. The Finnish MP congratulated Azerbaijan on
becoming a new temporary member of the UN Security Council. He hopes
that the two states will continue cooperating within the framework
of the NATO PA, OSCE PA.
Kanerva visited a camp of forced migrants in Agdam on January 11. The
MP noted that it gave a better picture of the state of events and
repercussions of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
