Aims of OSCE MG and Conflicting Sides Differ in Understanding Core of Conflict

PanARMENIAN.Net - Today's settlement plan and the format of the talks is not targeted at long-term settlement of the conflict, NKR President's Aide for Foreign Policy Arman Melikian said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net "The aims of the mediators and sides involved in the conflict differ in understanding the core of the conflict. As for the proposals already rejected by the parties, it's not worth talking of them and judging which one was better. Restoration of communications and opening of borders cannot resolve the conflict; moreover this will not guarantee considerable economic progress. They say if the proposal is accepted Armenia will prosper and investments will flow. Nothing of the kind. The country should develop itself. People in the West can count money and they will give as much as it's essential to secure their interests," he said.
