Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan believe in negotiated settlement of the Karabakh conflict, OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair James Warlik said in an interview with the Voice of America.
“They would not been talking to each other if they did not believe it was possible to reach a negotiated settlement,” the diplomat said.
He believes that both presidents are talking in good faith, they recognize it cannot bee solved militarily. According to him, it would be a disaster for the region if war really breaks out.
Warlick emphasized that now is time to reach a settlement, and it would not be easier to do it in a year or in a couple of years.
The situation at the line of contact is dangerous, and there is a risk of miscalculation, the diplomat said.
