    DENNIS SAMOUT: "THE STANCE OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IS THAT NAGORNO KARABAKH CONFLICT MUST BE REGULATED ONLY IN A PEACEFUL WAY, THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS"

    ATHENS, NOVEMBER 30, ARMENPRESS: The stance of the international
    community and particularly Europe's is that Nagorno Karabakh conflict
    must be regulated only in a peaceful way, through negotiations,
    executive director of British "LINKS" research center Dennis Samout
    told Armenpress today in Athens.

    "This is a message sent many times and a person who is speaking
    about war must understand that it is not what the international
    community expects. The process which is going on for many years must
    be concluded. We are expecting developments in the coming months
    which even if will not solve the conflict completely, will take the
    parties to the next round of negotiations. All expect progress,"
    D. Samout said.

    A round-table discussion on "European Security and Peaceful Regulation
    of Conflicts in the South Caucasus" will kick off today in Athens on
    the initiative of "LINKS". EU special representative in the South
    Caucasus Peter Semneby, deputy head of Russia's Foreign Ministry's
    South Caucasus Department Alexey Dvinyan, assistant secretary of
    political affairs of the Turkish Foreign Ministry Unal Ceviqyez
    will speak about the unsettled conflicts in the South Caucasus and
    their impact.

    "Nagorno Karabakh conflict regulation passes within the framework
    of OSCE and that is why the round table was organized within the
    framework of OSCE Ministerial Council. OSCE is a very important format
    of solving conflicts. These meetings in Athens will be very important
    opportunities for opening new horizons for the future of Europe,"
    he said.

    Referring to the process of normalization of relations between Armenia
    and Turkey he noted that the international community welcomes the
    signing of protocols between Armenia and Turkey. Everyone expects
    ratification of protocols and starting of the process. "It is a very
    important development in the region. This is a thing that may change
    the atmosphere. The efforts of the Armenian and Turkish governments -
    ignoring certain criticism make step toward this level are welcoming.

    But they must finish what they have started," the British expert said.
