V. Oskanian: Let me repeat Karabakh conflict has no military solutionApril 19, 2007 - 17:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - "I believe we could be close to a resolution. I have been Minister for nine years now. Five years before being appointed Minister, I was part of the team negotiating the Nagorno Karabakh issue" Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian stated speaking in the OSCE Permanent Council's session. He said, he has seen all the proposals that have ever been produced by the mediators. "What we have today is the most sensible, the most balanced. This is a trade-off among principles, this gives something to everyone, and denies every maximalist demand the sides might have. It is a balanced approach and we hope we will be able to continue to make progress on the basis of this document," the RA Foreign Minister underscored. Vartan Oskanian also underlined two circumstances that influence on the process of talks. One is the militaristic ambition of Azerbaijan. "Let me repeat: this conflict has no military solution," Oskanian said. "Second, the public statements made by the sides should match the spirit and letter of the document. When the document is eventually opened up, the public will ask why the statements don't match the content. In the case of Baku's statements, there is a discrepancy between their statements and the content of the document. My guideline is to go by what we've been hearing, what the Co-Chairs have been hearing during the talks," the Armenian Foreign Minister stated, the RA MFA Press Office reports.
