Karabakh issue must by publicly debated in Armenia-Azerbaijan – Lennmarker

It’s time for resolution of Nagorno Karabakh conflict, former president of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, chairman of the Jarl Hjalmarson Foundation stated.

“It is a question of the public opinion in Azerbaijan and in Armenia to have a debate about acceptance of the solution that is good for people of the both countries, because the negotiation process must be accepted by the people of Azerbaijan and also by the people of Armenia.

Otherwise there will be no solution and if there is no solution the status quo will be gone and a lot of people will suffer,” Goran Lennmarker said.

“Another thing from the outside that Europe could do more is that I think to give membership perspective to Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia in the European Union as EU accession may promote Karabakh conflict settlement,” APA quoted Lennmarker as saying.
