YEREVAN, July 2. /ARKA/. Armenia will not accept military settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, said Armenia’s Foreign Minister
Vardan Oskanian during the press-conference in Yerevan.
"Peaceful settlement of the conflict is the only way of settling the
Karabakh conflict," he said.
Oskanian pointed out that Armenia intends to suppress all the
statements that do not correspond to the "spirit and letter of
negotiation process", despite their being a well thought-out step
or misunderstanding.
"We have already submitted our written complaints concerning the
statements of the CE Secretary-General Terry Davis and have already
declared about the unacceptability of these statements, which do not
correspond to the spirit and essence of the conflict," Oskanian said.
One of these days CE Secretary-General Terry Davis declared that
Nagorno-Karabakh is considered a conquered territory and is a part
of Azerbaijan.
Karabakh conflict broke out in 1988, when Nagorno-Karabakh populated
by Armenians declared secession from Azerbaijan.
Starting from 1992 negotiations on the peaceful settlement of the
conflict have being held within the OSCE Minsk Group, the Co-Chairs
of which are the USA, Russia and France.
