Borusewicz: Karabakh Conflict Should Be Settled with Two Principles

PanARMENIAN.Net - The Karabakh conflict should be settled taking into account the principles of territorial integrity and the rights of nations to self-determination, Polish parliament speaker Bogdan Borusewicz said. These two principles are opposed in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict, which should however be resolved with appliance of both of them, Borusewicz told a news conference in Baku. "Poland is not an adherent to conflicts and I am not a representative of any of the sides. But I think that the conflict should be settled peacefully and the only way is to follow the directions of the OSCE Minsk Group, which should determine the steps to be taken for the conflict resolution," he added.



Borusewicz also reiterated the proposal he made in Yerevan early this week. He said Poland is ready to mediate for alleviating tension between Turkey and Armenia. "Poland enjoys good relations both with Turkey and Armenia. We can advance initiatives that will reduce distrust. Our diplomacy can represent Armenia's interest in Turkey and Turkey's interests in Armenia. Despite blockade there is trade and contacts. There are also difficulties but we consider that certain conditions should be created and both sides should demonstrate interest," he resumed, reports Day.az.
