MANVEL SARGSYAN: EU-ARMENIA ACTION PLAN WILL HARDLY CHANGE THE ATMOSPHERE OF KARABAKH CONFLICT SETTLEMENT
Public Radio, Armenia

The signing of the Action Plan of the "Enlarged Europe: New Neighbors"
Program by Armenia will hardly change the atmosphere of the Armenian
Genocide recognition process, Manvel Sargsyan, ex-Adviser to NKR
President, analyst of the "Caucasus" center, said in "Friday"
Club today.
He reminded the statement of Council of Europe Secretary General
Terry Davis that "he is interested in people, not the territories."
In Sargsyan’s opinion, this statement is the core of the policy of
the whole European community primarily targeted at the resolution of
humanitarian issues.
Manvel Sargsyan noted also that during the 10 years of its activity,
the OSCE Minsk Group has turned into a powerful mechanism, an
independent structure capable of resolving a number of issues.
Therefore, the attempts of Azerbaijan to transfer the Karabakh question
to another format will hardly succeed.
