European Union attaches great importance to NK conflict’s settlement

02 June 2006 [13:20] – Today.Az

The European Union (EU) supports OSCE Minsk Group activity in Nagorno
Karabakh conflict settlement.

Giuseppe Buzzini, EU New Neighborhood Policy Plenipotentiary for
relations with Azerbaijan, has told in his interview to APA that
resolution of Nagorno Karabakh is outside the competence of New
Neighborhood Policy officers.

“It is a long time since OSCE Minsk Group works for the settlement of
Nagorno Karabakh conflict. France, the EU member, is a co-chairman
here. Somehow we also have a relation to this question.”

Mr. Buzzini has stressed his opinion on that EU is ready for help to
the rehabilitation of the whole region, as well as renewal of
infrastructure and transport communications.

Andreas Herdina, EU New Neighborhood Policy Sectors’ Coordinator, has
told in his interview that the resolution of conflicts in South
Caucasus, as well as conflict over Nagorno Karabakh, is of great
importance for EU.

“We notice positive steps toward the solution observing Armenian and
Azerbaijani Presidents’ talks in Rambouillet and expected sitting in
Bucharest.”
