/PanARMENIAN.Net/ «The Nagorno Karabakh conflict cannot be solved by means
of arms. Parties should engage in dialogue and cooperation. In case of need
international pressure should be put to solve the problem,» President of the
Chamber of Representatives of Belgium Herman de Croo stated at a meeting
with journalists in Baku, the Yerkir newspaper reported. He noted that the
OSCE and a range of other international organizations continue their efforts
to solve the problem. H. de Croo emphasized that the EU program on
enlargement of Europe is important from the point of view of the Karabakh
settlement. «The new neighborhood policy can play a significant role in the
peaceful solution of the problem,» the President of the Belgian Chamber of
Representatives noted. Answering the question whether Belgium recognizes the
territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in the Karabakh settlement, Herman de
Croo said that as an active EU member the country represented by him
promoted the OSCE Minsk Group efforts. «I think those efforts will lead to
positive outcomes,» H. de Croo noted.
