Zhelyu Zhelev: Solution of Karabakh Conflict Linked with Eurointegration
To solve the Nagorno Karabakh conflict accession to the EU and NATO should be expected for, President of the Balkan Political Club, former Bulgarian President Zhelyu Zhelev stated. In his words, when all countries of the South Caucasus become EU and NATO members, economic development will start and conflicts will disappear on their own. «Unexpectedly or incidentally the Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be solved. It should be expected until the parties become EU and NATO members. And they will face peace without limits both for physical persons and spiritual values,» he remarked. At that he underscored that is it not possible to find a rational solution. «I have no doubts that the solution will be found later. By deep conviction is that it will be linked with European integration. However, giving exact forecasts on developments is not necessary,» Zhelev said.
