There are different players in the region with different interests, and
the settlement of the Karabakh conflict will not depend on Armenia and
Azerbaijan only, German Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
to Armenia Reiner Morell told reporters today.
According to the Ambassador, there should be a balance between the
principles of territorial integrity and the right of peoples to
self-determination, as "the victory of one of them will mean the
defeat of the other."
The Ambassador said his country has had a number of such conflicts
in Europe, but today Germany successfully cooperates with France and
Poland. Mr. Morell said it's important to establish peace between
the two countries. "It's hard, but it's necessary to move forward,"
he said, adding that the Minsk Group exerts efforts in that direction.
What factors can contribute to the unification of Armenia and Nagorno
Karabakh? The Ambassador underlined that "the Karabakh issue refers
not only to Armenia and Azerbaijan." According to him, any decision
on the issue will depend on the general "political climate" and the
political situation. He stressed, however, that most of all it will
depend on the will of Yerevan and Baku.
Suspending diplomatic relations with Hungary was Armenia's right,
German Ambassador Reiner Morell said.
Ramil Safarov's extradition and subsequent release do not comply
with European values, the Ambassador said. "This is not acceptable to
anyone in Germany. Azerbaijan caused a great damage to its reputation
by this step, and this incident should be taken into consideration
in the future actions with Azerbaijan," he stated.
