Zdzislaw Raczynski: it’s impossible to conquer a nation which doesn’t wish to subordinate

Armenian-Polish relations are exemplary, what is proved by frequent mutual visits, Poland’s ambassador to RA said.

“Nevertheless, there are some factors hampering efficient economic cooperation,” Zdzislaw Raczynski told a press conference on November 18.

Asked to comment about possible outcomes of the OSCE summit in Astana, the ambassador said anything significant will hardly take place.

He also noted that Kosovo and Karabakh conflicts should not be compared, as these are “two different issues.”

“Kosovo events were taking place in the center of Europe, what made the problem resolution easier. Karabakh conflict is rather complicated, in addition to major disagreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as clash of interests among the superpowers,” Raczynski said.

“The Russian-Georgian war in 2008 proved attempts to resolve conflicts by the use of force to be fruitless. It’s impossible to conquer a nation which doesn’t wish to subordinate,” he concluded.
