EU prefers not to interest with conflicts Recently the Public
Unity of Civilization & Research held the ’round table’ entitled
European security strategy and Azerbaijan. Chairman of the mentioned
organization, Surkhay Latifov informed that the East- the East Project
being realized within the framework of the Open Society Institute
Programme will last three months. Within the framework of the programme
the various arrangements and ’round tables’ were held in Baku, Guba,
etc. regions of Azerbaijan.

According to him, the Project I is due to particularly the European
neighborhood policy. It implies to inform about the European security
strategy.

Then the Director of the European Political Institute of Czech
Republic, Devid Kraal spoke and said that the European security
strategy under leadership of Havier Solona was set up in December
2003. D. Kraal said that this strategy has a great importance,
resulting in development of the common security strategy for Europe.

At the same time, the document made close the European Union
countries. The expert added that the Strategy protects the interests
of the Member States of the European Union as well as secure other
countries’ security. According to D. Kraal, the Strategy aims at fight
counterterrorism and weapons of mass destruction. The document also
recalls the regional conflicts subdivided into "cold" and "hot".

For instance, the conflict between Israel and Palestine is called as
"hot", but the conflicts existing in the Caucasus – "cold", including
Abkhazia, Ossetia and Nagorno-Garabagh. As D. Kraal informed,
the Strategy implies the ways of solution of these problems: "Such
kind of conflicts can have a number of solutions. EU Member States
consider that all countries should make efforts for prevention of
such problems. Moreover, the conflicts are withdrawn very often in
the states with strong government." As D. Kraal thinks, the majority
of EU Member States have not detailed information concerning the
Nagorno-Garabagh: "At the same time, EU prefers not to go into details
of such conflicts, as the more important issue is economic affairs."

Regarding the opinion of the Director of the Institute concerning the
Nagorno-Garabagh conflict, he stated that he did not know this problem
in detailed, that’s why he was not ready to express his opinion on
this occasion.
