Georgy Vanyan: "Resolution of the conflict with Azerbaijan is a vital and top priority issue for Armenia"

28 July 2008 [16:50] - TODAY.AZ
Settlement of the Karabakh conflict is a real, not cosmetic resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and it can not be subjugated to the use of the third factors, said chairman Caucasus Center of Peacekeeping Initiatives Georgy Vanyan in his interview to Day.Az.
According to him, this is a vital issue for both countries and both peoples and importance of this issue can not be compared to the factor of opened or closed border with Turkey.

He noted that resumption and freezing of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict is a small change for the third countries.

"The conflict resolution lays in the area of direct Azerbaijani-Armenian relations. Our internal potential should be used for the purpose. Resolution of the conflict with Azerbaijan is a vital and top priority issue for Armenia. It can not lay in the area "of changing interests" of some third countries, either neighbor ones, or super states or simply states."

He said the real progress in the Armenian-Turkish relations will undoubtedly cause progress in the resolution of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.

"But this will not occur in the geopolitical field. The thaw in the relations can be possible in case of profound changes in Armenia. It does not mean change of powers. I imply the timely reassessment of national interests and review of development priorities", said Vanyan.
