| | NATO Speech: EAPC Security Forum - Panel 1 “Addressing Europe's unresolved conflicts” - 25 May 2005 |
 | | In my view conflicts are mainly caused by the situations where people are not only frustrated, but they are desperated by the lack of instruments, or other way to solve the conflicts. |
 | | Another feature of those conflicts, that is the presence, the military presence in those conflicts, in all those three conflicts, under whatever pretext, be it so-called peacekeeping operation, or whatever. |
 | | Of those conflicts that we are referring as the frozen conflicts, represent today end of secessionist movements in the ex-Soviet territories because all those regimes are controlled, centrally from Moscow, Moscow appoint those people, they are Russian citizens, so we cannot say that these people are striving for independence. |
