YEREVAN.- UK supports resolution of the Karabakh conflict within the format of the OSCE Minsk Group and hopes it will be possible to achieve peace due to  talks, said UK Ambassador to Armenia Charles Lonsdale.

According to him, the official London wants to see a peace agreement.

“First of all it depends on two governments,” he told journalists on Monday. Although a peace treaty is not signed, much work had been carried out to create a basis for the agreement which requires political will, he added.

He recalled that UK is not a participant of talks stressing importance of implementing the projects aimed at achieving convergence between the two societies, in particular eliminating the stereotypes.

“Young people should be removed from an atmosphere of enmity, contacts should be established,” Lonsdale said stressing that such approach needs time but will definitely create basis for future results.
