Situation in Kashmir similar to Nagorno Karabak:Musharraf
Islamabad |
The situation prevailing in the Kashmir Valley is almost similar to
what is prevailing in the Armenian conclave of Nagorno Karabak,
claimed Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Friday.
Reports reaching here from the Azerbaijan capital of Baku quoted
Musharraf as saying that Pakistan's "lingering" dispute with India
over Kashmir was similar to the conflict between the Armenian
Government and its neighbouring enclave of Nagorno Karabakh and the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The News further quoted him as saying that all of these issues needed
to be addressed and resolved in just manner, and countries perceived
as aggressors needed to be aware of ground realities.
"If we are able to put this into practice, the world will be able to
root out extremism, militarism and terrorism. If the status quo
remains, that will not lead to the resolution of these problems,"
Musharraf was quoted as saying.
He also claimed that "Islamic terrorism" was holding the Muslim world
hostage, and that the West must also change its attitude to the
Islamic world.
"It is unfortunate that terrorism does harm to Muslim countries...
The tactics they use, terrorism, car bombs, executions and other
dirty methods, damage our great religion. Today they are holding our
societies hostage. They must understand that they cannot solve the
problems of the Islamic world this way...I call on them to return to
the true path," he said. (ANI)
