Canadian MP calls for end to bloodshed in Nagorno-Karabakh conflict zone
20:54, 25 August, 2014
YEREVAN, AUGUST 25, ARMENPRESS. Harold Albrecht, Chair of the
Canada-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group and Member of Parliament
for Kitchener-Conestoga considers that Azerbaijani attacks in
mid-August have led to a situation that threatens to destabilize the
entire region.
As reports “Armenpress”, the Canadian MP reminded that the latest
clashes have resulted in more than 30 deaths, a number not seen since
a ceasefire was established 20 years ago in 1994.
“There is no military solution to this crisis; and such violations of
international law can only stir the resentment of future
generations.”
“Canada believes problems such as these are best solved through
negotiations and dialogue.”
“It’s time that Region’s leaders pursued a legacy of peace and
bridge-building. Too much blood has been spilled for no good,” said
Albrecht.
He expressed hope for significant progress as a result of the August
10 meeting between the heads of state of Armenia and Azerbaijan in
reducing the conflict levels in the region.
