UK ambassador: Karabakh settlement depends on parties’ political will

Despite all mediatory efforts, Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement depends on the political will of the parties involved, British ambassador to Armenia said.

“Fort the past four years we have witnessed less progress than we would like to,” Charles Lonsdale told a press conference in Yerevan.

According to him, under existing conditions, boosting confidence among civil society members would also help progress in addition to signing a peace agreement between the sides.

“We are fighting the stereotypes regarding the Karabakh issue among youth and civil society,” Mr. Lonsdale said.

In conclusion, the ambassador noted establishment of peace and stability in the South Caucasus as a priority for UK’s foreign policy course.
