Vladimir Kazimirov: Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is sharper than many other conflicts

19 May 2009 [17:44] - TODAY.AZ
The former head of the mediation mission of Russia and the former co-chairman of the OSCE Minsk Group, Ambassador Vladimir Kazimirov considers that Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is more acute than many other conflicts.
"Many other conflicts have been as if new and did not have a great history. The Karabakh conflict, unfortunately, has a burdened background," he told journalists on Tuesday in Khankendi.

According to him, it is necessary to stop the age-old clash between Armenians and Azerbaijanis, to open the way to their historic reconciliation, a task far more complex than to simply remove the mutual claims in this conflict.

"The Volatile region, a long-standing confrontation between the two peoples and the need to be positive on their historic reconciliation attached particular importance to this conflict", noted Kazimirov.

The Russian diplomat believes that the most important at this stage of settlement of the conflict is to prevent the resumption of hostilities.
