Hans-Jochen Schmidt: peacefulness is Armenia’s advantage over Azerbaijan

More frequent incidents in Karabakh conflict zone suggest the conflict is not at all frozen, German Ambassador to Armenia said.

“Efforts should be undertaken to prevent an open confrontation,” Hans-Jochen Schmidt told a news conference in Yerevan.

“During the OSCE summit in Astana, Armenian President yet once again proved ineffectiveness of military resolution of conflicts,” he said.

The Ambassador emphasized that peacefulness is Armenia’s advantage over Azerbaijan.

“Military rhetoric and non-proportional policy will never promote resolution of conflicts in South Caucasus,” the diplomat said.
