The Karabakh conflict is one of the most complex of the so-called
frozen conflicts, the head of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform
faction, Graham Watson, told a press conference in Yerevan on May 11,
reports NEWS.am.

Watson noted that the word “frozen” is not very precise, because
if the conflict was frozen, there would be no deaths as a result of
shootings. He says that the conflict is frozen in the way that it is
difficult to move forward the process of regulating it.

Watson also added that he supports the EU approach of using diplomatic
ways to solve problems one by one: “I am delighted that we register
very considerable progress in resolving the dispute between Moldova
and Transdniestria. I hope that this progress will help to build
confidence between the EU and Russia, which will help us register
progress in other similar conflicts.”

He also said that he does not judge who is right or wrong: “But one
thing I know: armed conflict has never decided who is right or wrong.

Armed conflict simply decides who stays alive.”
