    AMBASSADOR OF BELARUS: WE ARE FOR PEACEFUL RESOLUTION OF THE KARABAKH CONFLICT ON THE BASIS OF THE THREE BASIC PRINCIPLES

    ArmInfo. Belarus is for peaceful resolution of the Karabakh conflict
    on the basis of the three basic principles: the peoples' right to
    self-determination, territorial integrity and non-use of force,
    Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Belarus to Armenia
    Stepan Sukhorenko said in an interview with ArmInfo.

    "Thus, Belarus does not support any of the parties to the Karabakh
    conflict unlike certain speculations on the given topic. In addition,
    we see no alternative to the format of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs,"
    he said.

    As for Turkey's aspirations for the OSCE MG co-chairmanship,
    Ambassador Sukhorenko believes that it will be possible only in case
    of coordinating the positions of the co-chair-states and reckoning
    with the desire of the parties to the conflict.

    The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict broke out on February 28 1988 in the
    Azerbaijani Sumgait with massacre of Armenians as a peculiar response
    of Azerbaijanis to the peaceful demand of the Nagorno-Karabakh
    autonomous Region, part of the Azerbaijani SSR, to unite with the
    Armenian SSR. This resulted in other pogroms of Armenians in Baku,
    Kirovabad and other regions of Azerbaijan populated with Armenians. In
    1991 Azerbaijan unleashed war against peaceful populations of
    Nagorno-Karabakh, expulsing ethnic Armenians from the territory of
    Azerbaijan. Dozens of thousands of peaceful residents on both parties
    were killed in the military actions, and hundreds of thousands were
    left homeless and have become refugees. In 1994 in Bishkek in mediation
    of the OSCE MG, the NKR, Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a Protocol on
    Ceasefire that is observed more or less so far.
