ROMANIAN FM: “I HOPE NK CONFLICT WILL BE RESOLVED IN 2006”

Today, Azerbaijan
April 13 2006

“I hope following few meetings between ministers of exterior of
Azerbaijan and Armenia within the framework of Prague process and
negotiations held in Warsaw and Kazan in 2005, as well as in Rambouait,
Nagorno Karabakh conflict will be resolved,” Mihai-Razvan Ungureanu,
Romanian FM and Chairman of Ministers Committee of EC stated on April
12 at Parliamentary Assembly of EC.

The letter was the response to questions raised by members of Azeri
parliament Ganira Pashayeva and Rafael Huseynov, Trend reports.

The letter says the following: “Heads of states shared their opinions
regarding unresolved conflicts at the third meeting in Warsaw.

Ministers Committee of EC has come to decision to pay special attention
to Nagorno Karabakh conflict. This position remains unchanged since
Azerbaijan and Armenia have joined EC.”

“Representatives of public pf the both countries, including members
of parliament, have their responsibilities in this respect. Use of
language of threats is not a path to a positive solution,” Romanian
Minister writes.

He opines that neither EC nor Ministers Committee is authorized to
interfere the negotiations on the conflict resolution, as this is
responsibility of OSCE’s Minsk Group. However, EC may provide some
assistance in development of cooperation between the two countries,
in particular, resolution 1690 approved by Ministers Committee in
September 2005, which states a number of such initiatives.
