The Karabakh conflict is a serious problem, further exacerbated because some people chose to color it with religious context, USSR People’s Artist, popular actor, Moscow Dramatic Theater art director Armen Jigarkhanyan stated.

Commenting on the possibility of conflict settlement, Jigarkhanyan said, “I don’t want to sound too harsh; still, I believe some people are trying to further stir the conflict to gain their end.”

The artist called on conflicting parties to spend energy on making peace rather than disputing. “The conflict will be resolved if it’s much spoken about,” Vesti.az cited Jigarkhanyan as saying.
