No military solution to Karabakh conflict, Bulgaria’s ex-president warns

PanARMENIAN.Net - An attempt to resolve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict by the use of force will reignite it, Bulgarian ex-President said, according to Trend News.

"I hope that the conflict will be resolved soon," Zhelyu Zhelev told media in Baku. "Negotiations within the OSCE Minsk Group must continue. It is necessary to use the experience of other countries."

As he noted, the Karabakh conflict has long been on the international agenda.

"When a president, I often negotiated the peaceful settlement of the conflict with Azerbaijanis and Armenians. Guns and violence won’t give a lasting solution to the issue, with the conflict apt to break out again with the same arguments and emotions. I’m not sure when the conflict will be resolved, but the OSCE Minsk Group is necessary. It is essential to use the expertise of other countries which had a similar experience," Zhelev said.
