GORAN LENMARKER CREATES ‘GOLDEN’ OPPORTUNITY TO SETTLE NKR CONFLICT

Regnum agency informed that Goran Lenmarker, OSCE PACE special
representative of Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, stated that today a
“golden” opportunity is created for the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh
issue, based on “victory-victory” order. In case this order is carried out,
both Armenia and Azerbaijan will suffer the least loses. The diplomat told
about that during the 14th session of PACE in Washington. He emphasized that
Nagorno Karabakh conflict is not frozen. “People are being killed at the
border each year,” he said.

Lenmarker offered to follow the example of the Europeans, when “democracy
and integration become basic components for peace.”

He didn’t specify what “victory-victory” order means in particular. The last
point of OSCE PACE formula on Nagorno Karabakh settlement says the
following: “OSCE PACE advices Azerbaijan and Armenia to follow the formation
of “victory -victory” situation, based on the current suggestions on
settlement that is supported by the European structures.”
