Mr. Stanishev mentioned that he helped to the establishment of Prague process when Bulgaria headed OSCE in 2004.
â€œI consider that constant decision should be made to ensure regional cooperation. The conflict can not be always frozen. The sooner solution variant for ensuring the development and stability is found, the better it is,â€ he said
Mr. Stanishev noted that he will visit Yerevan and stressed that he will say opinions sounded here in Yerevan.
â€œBulgaria wants the development and stability of region as one of the region countries and as a member of EU. Present situation is not in the interest of Azerbaijanis and Armenians. There are a lot of refugees in Azerbaijan as a result of Nogorno Karabakh conflict and one part of country territory is not under control of authority. Armenia can not establish economic relations with its neighbors because it is blockaded, the conflict impede to the economic and social development of this country.â€
Mr. Stanishev regarded talks on settlement of the conflict as a difficult process and stressed the necessity of finding constructive solution.
â€œI want to mention that Bulgaria and Greece waged a lot of wars for territory and for the access of Aegean Sea for centuries. We are not absolutely interested in our borders because the two countries are the members of EU. /APA/
