Stepanakert's joining talks to promote conflict resolution

PanARMENIAN.Net - No precedent can hamper endeavors to resolve of a problem, according to Armenia's Foreign Minister.



"A recent survey in Azerbaijan showed that 29 per cent of the population wants resolution of the Karabakh conflict by use of force. This is a very dangerous tendency, which is the result of military rhetoric constantly dissimilated in Azerbaijan," Edward Nalbandian said.



"Azerbaijan is the only country in the world which flaunts tenfold increase of military expenditures and where every third citizen wants war. But war can't be a solution. There is no alternative to the peaceful process. We are hopeful that the outcomes of the June 6 presidential meeting will allow to continue talks on the basis of the OSCE Minsk Group's Madrid proposals," he said.



"Stepanakert's joining the talks will promote resolution of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict. Being optimistic about the process, I think that military operations should be prevented by all means. We hope that Azerbaijan understands this," the Minister concluded, Nezavisimaya Gazeta reports.
