/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Every "frozen conflict" has its logic and uniqueness,
OSCE Minsk Group French Co-Chair Bernard Fassier stated to a press
conference in Yerevan. He said, solution of every conflict must
be individual, proceeding from peculiarities of that conflict. "In
this sense conflicts in South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Nagorno Karabakh
are different. And moreover, the conflict in Kosovo, which as some
experts think, can become a precedent. In this case there is no sense
in drawing a parallel between them.
Every conflicts is being settled in various formats: South Ossetia
and Kosovo through the UN, Abkhazia with the help of Russia and the
Nagorno Karabakh conflict through OSCE Minsk Group, and to change
the format will only hamper the settlement process," Fassier stressed.
Alongside he underlined that the Nagorno Karabakh conflict has the
following logic. First, Nagorno Karabakh has already had autonomy
within Soviet Azerbaijan. And second, this is a conflict between two
countries. "To take the negotiation process to UN will have negative
influence on the whole process, and in our statements we've called upon
the sides to avoid from such initiatives," the French mediator said.
