Irish Ambassador to RA: Current situation in Karabakh process cannot last endlesslyJune 11, 2007 - 17:02 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Ireland thinks that the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflicts will last as much, as is necessary to bring closer positions of sides, Ireland's Ambassador to Armenia Justin Harman stated at the interview to the PanARMENIAN.Net He said, any form of military actions in trying to solve similar conflicts is unproductive. "We have fought very long and it hampered the peace process. The conflict between Ireland and the Great Britain dates back to remote ages. But military operations were the most fierce in 1960ies of the 20th century. And they did not contribute to the peace process at all. We always look at the Nagorno Karabakh conflict from this very point of view. Since the world community is interested in settlement of the conflict, the OSCE Minsk Group has been established for that very purpose, which makes every possible effort. But it is Armenia and Azerbaijan that must come to an agreement," Ambassador Justin Harman said. Justin Harman reminded that the NK problem is a legacy from USSR. "At the same time I don't think that the current situation can last endlessly. It is true that the negotiation process does not depend on terms, one cannot fix terms for that. It is a difficult political way, which I hope, will result in resolution of the situation," the Irish diplomat underlined.
