Armenia leader: S. Caucasus conflicts unlikely to be settled soon
YEREVLIN June 22
The Armenian president on Tuesday argued that conflicts in the South
Caucasus were unlikely to be resolved in the near future but called
for international economic activities in the region despite the
conflicts.
"I believe that comprehensive political solutions are unlikely in our
region in the near future. On the other hand, more intensive regional
economic cooperation will make it necessary to revise the status quo
of closed borders and frozen relations and will build an atmosphere of
mutual confidence for the resolution of the conflicts," Serzh Sargsyan
said in a speech at the Academy of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation in
Germany.
Sargsyan also expressed "serious doubts" about the view that the South
Caucasus conflicts need to be settled before the conflict-stricken
areas can launch normal economic relations with foreign countries.
