Turkey-Armenia talks may positively affect Karabakh settlement - Lennmarker

PanARMENIAN.Net - EU can support Karabakh settlement, but the solution cannot be imposed from the outside, former president of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, chairman of the Jarl Hjalmarson Foundation stated.

“Conflict settlement must be negotiated. It must be a solution which is accepted by both sides, in other words, the compromise. Nobody will be 100% happy because it is the nature of it,” Goran Lennmarker said.

“I think that the discussion between Armenia and Turkey could be helpful, and here I have a different opinion with the leadership of Azerbaijan. Because I think that could help the solution. If they could get through their complicated history in the whole manner, I think that could be a good thing for Nagorno-Karabakh.

That could help for the solution, because this is the European experience. We all have been in a war, for example Sweden had 12 wars with Denmark, 9 wars with Russia and many wars with Poland and Germany. This is a typical European history of the conflicts, and we have to learn to live together with the bothers that are very debatable and discussed,” APA quoted him as saying.
