    Terry Davis: Nagorno Karabakh is Azerbaijan's inalienable territory
    occupied

    [ 23 Jun 2007 14:46 ]

    `If I were a citizen of Armenia, I would, of course, think of the
    future of my grandchildren rather than Nagorno Karabakh'

    `Nagorno Karabakh is very serious issue bur not vital for Armenia. If
    I were a citizen of Armenia, I would, of course, think of the future
    of my grandchildren [rather than Nagorno Karabakh]. Nagorno Karabakh
    is not the only pain in this region,' told Terry Davis, the Council
    of Europe Secretary General, on A1+ TV.
    He said the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia on Nagorno
    Karabakh should be resolved in peaceful manner.
    `I have always done my best to help the OSCE Minsk Group to progress
    on the issue. The sooner this conflict is settled the earlier other
    problems of residents will get solved,' he noted.
    Asked what he is his opinion of `puppet' presidential elections in
    Nagorno Karabakh, Terry Davis replied that any so-called polls will
    not be recognized internationally.
    `I don't believe any country except for Armenia will recognize the
    so-called elections. Nagorno Karabakh is Azerbaijan's inalienable
    part under occupation. I favor territorial integrity of the Caspian
    States, as well as both Azerbaijan and Armenia. But, Nagorno Karabakh
    is not the territory of Armenia. As we know, Armenians also live
    Georgia but it doesn't mean that Georgia belongs to Armenia. I am
    sorry, but people living outside Armenia think as do,' he answered.
    To the question of Armenian reporter if it is possible to solve the
    conflict at the present context of relationship, the Council of
    Europe Secretary General said yes.
    `Of course, possible. I want to see this conflict soon solved. I see
    many in Armenia and Azerbaijan are anticipating solution to the
    dispute. I agree with them. The conflict is long-drawn-out. Money
    goes to military, not to improve living standards of people. I am
    sure that Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be solved soon,' he
    concluded. /APA/
