The Armenian Foreign Minister, Vardan Oskanyan has presented the
new EU representative on the South Caucasus, Peter Semnebi to the
Armenian society on April 5 in Yerevan. According to him the current
diplomat has wider authorities in the conflict regulation issue than
his predecessor, Heiki Talvitie.

Though, Semnebi will not personally participate at the negotiations
he will nonetheless, play an important role in the achievement of
peace in the region, he said.

Semnebi, in his turn, at the press-conference in Yerevan has released
a statement that “EU has made a principal decision to get more involved
in the resolution process of aged regional conflicts.”

All attempts to solve the conflict militarily may have grave and even
catastrophic consequences, he noted.

The procrastination of the issue is not in favor for neither Armenia
nor Azerbaijan. “Procrastination from the Armenian side will put
the country in the unfavorable position- isolation and blockade of
its western and eastern borders will continue and on part of Baku-
growth of belligerent moods and desire to solve the problem military,
which may have the gravest consequences for the both sides, he told,
