At her meeting with journalists Sept 23, Romanian Ambassador to Armenia
Crina Prunariu did not comment on Romanian President Traian Basescu’s
statement in Azerbaijan, this April.

He reportedly said that Nagorno-Karabakh is part of Azerbaijan, and the
problem must be resolved following the territorial integrity principle.

As a government official Ambassador Crina Prunariu refused to comment
on the statement. Romania has economic interests in Azerbaijan, and
mass media often emphasize what they want, ignoring the interests of,
say, Romania, the ambassador said.

Conflict differ, solutions differ as well. In any case, international
legal norms must be observed, the diplomat said.

Romania supports the OSCE Minsk Group’s decisions. The Minsk Group
still has potential. In any case, Romania is inclined to support the
solutions the conflicting parties will eventually agree on. Romania
is against solutions imposed from outside – they are not be long-term
solutions.
