Karabakh Conflict Has No Military Solution

When addressing the 116th session of the Council of Ministers of the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs Vartan Oskanian addressed the issue of settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. “Upon membership, Armenia and Azerbaijan made a commitment to see a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict,» he said. «There are positive elements in the negotiations process in which we have been involved over these last several years, but that can produce results only if the parties understand – and clearly declare – that they don’t have a military option here. Europe offers a new context for negotiation: regional cooperation and post-war reconciliation. This is the Europe – the place of peace and cooperation – to which our two countries belong, “ Vartan Oskanian remarked, reports the Armenian MFA Press Service.
