OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries are convinced the Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot be solved by force, OSCE MG French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier stated in Yerevan. In his words, there will be no war between the parties to conflict in any conditions.

«A war will be a catastrophe to all parties to conflict and the region as a whole. War means new victims, destruction, refugees, unnecessary and unjustified expenses, which can be spent on peaceful development of the region. War is the worst script, at which there are no winners,» the French diplomat underscored.

Bernard Fassier said the OSCE MG officially calls the parties to conflict to arrive at a peace accord, in spite of past losses. «It should not be specified who attacked the first, who seized something or lost it. If we give hope to both parties for continuation of the peace talks, this means we have found new principles of settlement. These are not new talks, these are new principles,» the French Co-Chair remarked.
