NATO Secretary General: “NATO must not be involved in Nagorno Karabakh problem”
Strasbourg. Fuad Gulubeyli–APA. On April 2, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer engaged in an open debate in Strasbourg with young people from almost 60 nations about "NATO in 2020: What Lies Ahead", APA correspondent reports from Strasbourg. Following his report, the NATO Secretary General answered the questions of the students, including what the Armenian student asked about the Armenia’s integration to NATO, solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict and opening of Turkish-Armenian borders. Jaap de Hoop Scheffer highly appreciated NATO-Armenian relationship. “We are working together with Armenia within the Partnership for Peace Program. Regarding the solution to Nagorno Karabakh conflict, I don’t think that NATO has a decisive role in this issue. Our organization is not involved in this issue. The Nagorno Karabakh conflict is solved within the OSCE Minsk Group. I also took interest in the solution of this problem while working as foreign minister and OSCE chairman-in-office”.
The Secretary General said recently there was progress in the issue of opening the Turkish-Armenian borders and he hoped that the two countries could improve their relations.
