BAKU. - Great Britain supports the OSCE Minsk Group's activities
toward a peaceful settlement to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, United
Kingdom Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Peter Bateman, told 1news.az News
Agency of Azerbaijan.
He noted that Great Britain is not a major player in the settlement
process of the Karabakh conflict, and that the OSCE Minsk
Group-specifically its three Co-Chairing countries (France, US,
Russia)-deals with this matter.
"We, together with our European partners, stand ready to jointly do
everything possible to help them in the peaceful settlement," he said.
The Ambassador added that the problems in Northern Ireland came about
from circumstances which were somewhat different than the problems
in Nagorno-Karabakh.
"I believe there are only few parallels between the Northern Ireland
peace process and Nagorno-Karabakh. There are some lessons which
learned from our own experience and which, at the end of the day,
could be linked with any conflict. First and foremost, this is the
process of reconciliation between the formerly-conflicting layers of
the population," the UK Ambassador to Azerbaijan said.
