Every "frozen conflict" has its logic and uniqueness

PanARMENIAN.Net - Every "frozen conflict" has its logic and uniqueness, OSCE Minsk Group French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier stated to a press conference in Yerevan. He said, solution of every conflict must be individual, proceeding from peculiarities of that conflict. "In this sense conflicts in South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno Karabakh are different. And moreover, the conflict in Kosovo, which as some experts think, can become a precedent. In this case there is no sense in drawing a parallel between them. Every conflicts is being settled in various formats: South Ossetia and Kosovo through the UN, Abkhazia with the help of Russia and the Nagorno Karabakh conflict through OSCE Minsk Group, and to change the format will only hamper the settlement process," Fassier stressed.



Alongside he underlined that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict has the following logic. First, Nagorno Karabakh has already had autonomy within Soviet Azerbaijan. And second, this is a conflict between two countries. "To take the negotiation process to UN will have negative influence on the whole process, and in our statements we've called upon the sides to avoid from such initiatives," the French mediator said.
