Armenian expert: "The resolution of the Karabakh conflict by mid 2009 is impossible"

Special representative of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly on Nagorno Karabakh issues Goran Lennmarker said during his visit to Armenia that a great opportunity for the resolution of the Karabakh conflict based on compromises appeared in 2009.

"Considering the opportunity to settle this conflict in mid 2009, it should be noted that only 4-5 months are left before this term and I am pessimistic that  this issue can be settle in such short limits", said Bekaryan.

He said it is impossible to coordinate principles of the resolution, present them to public and get the response, which is a democratic requirement.

He said there is another factor as such a post-conflict situation, which could grow into a new conflict, cannot be admitted.

"Even under a great optimism about the agreement within a short period of time, its publication, execution and transformation into a final document will take time", said Bekaryan.
