    GERMAN POLITICIANS ADVISE AZERBAIJAN TO TAKE REALITY INTO ACCOUNT



    The office of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in Berlin organized a
    conference to discuss "Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict Settlement from the
    Azerbaijani Standpoint: Options".

    Spokesman for Azerbaijan invited to address those present spoke of
    territorial integrity and threatened to resort to military might.

    Uve Halbach of the German International Security institute and Reiner
    Dornseuver of the Council of Europe replied by saying that with all
    due respect for the principle of territorial integrity, conflict
    settlement should take the existing reality into account. Halbach
    announced that the demands for territorial integrity were not absolute
    and sometimes even impossible to meet (here a reference was made to
    Georgia).

    Dornseuver in his turn advised Azerbaijan to learn from the past
    experience of Germany that had accepted the reality formed by WWII and
    thus facilitated peace and security in Europe. He said that abandoning
    this demand would advance peaceful settlement of the conflict and that
    Azerbaijan and Armenia could count on assistance from the Council of
    Europe in dealing with consequences of the conflict.
