Baku. Victoria Dementieva - APA. "UK wants peace between Azerbaijan
and Armenia to be established within the OSCE Minsk group's peaceful
talks", the UK minister for Europe David Lidington said in Yerevan,
APA reports quoting Armenian press.
He mentioned that the peaceful settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict
meets the interests of both the region and Europe: "UK is interested
in assistance for restoration of peace and stability in the South
Caucasus. This isn't an ordinary place on the world map this is a part
of Europe for us. We have close relations with Azerbaijan and Armenia;
we have commercial interests that will support peaceful solution of
the conflict".
In response to an Armenian journalist -"Why does UK prefer
self-determination principles in the issue concerning Kosovo and
Folkland, but in other cases it shows quite different approach",
the UK minister said: "I consider that this question doesn't refer
to Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Kosovo issue must be solved due to
the UN resolution #1244. Self-determination of the OSCE Minsk group
is on of the main principles for the peaceful solution of Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. Of course, this principle as well as others must
be identified under the control of the OSCE Minsk group's co-chairs".
