ArmInfo: Representative of Armenia to UN: The delay in conflicts settlement process is a true threat of their resumption

Yerevan, December 24. Arminfo. 

"The delay in the settlement process not only hinders the regional cooperation but greatly restricts the efforts directed to the peacebuilding and contains serious threats aimed at controlling the conflicts", - Permanent Representative of the Republic of Armenia to the United Nations Karen Nazaryan said in his speech at the open discussion dubbed "Post-conflict peacebuilding" that was hosted in UN Security Council on December 20. 

As press-service of Armenia's Foreign Ministry reported, the Armenian diplomat said in his speech that the post conflict period enables a chance to create sustainable development basis in the region, for which first of all it is necessary to demonstrate  political will and determination. He also added that Security Council often refers to the stated topic thus highlighting the importance of peacebuilding processes which seek to prevent the resumptionof conflicts and creates necessary preconditions of lasting security and stability, peace and development.

The ministerial statement was adopted on the results of the discussion.

Thursday Interview: Murad Muradov

Today, commonspace.eu starts a new regular weekly series. THURSDAY INTERVIEW, conducted by Lauri Nikulainen, will host  persons who are thinkers, opinion shapers, and implementors in their countries and spheres. We start the series with an interview with Murad Muradov, a leading person in Azerbaijan's think tank community. He is also the first co-chair of the Action Committee for a new Armenian-Azerbaijani Dialogue. Last September he made history by being the first Azerbaijani civil society activist to visit Armenia after the 44 day war, and the start of the peace process. Speaking about this visit Murad Muradov said: "My experience was largely positive. My negative expectations luckily didn’t play out. The discussions were respectful, the panel format bringing together experts from Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey was particularly valuable during the NATO Rose-Roth Seminar in Yerevan, and media coverage, while varied in tone, remained largely constructive. Some media outlets though attempted to represent me as more of a government mouthpiece than an independent expert, which was totally misleading.  Overall, I see these initiatives as important steps in rebuilding trust and normalising professional engagement. The fact that soon a larger Azerbaijani civil society visits to Armenia followed, reinforces the sense that this process is moving in the right direction."
