/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Helsinki Final Act is a fundamental bases
for security and relationship in Europe and it defines different
principles, including principles of territorial integrity and the right
of people for self-determination, said Peter Semneby, the EU Special
Representative for the South Caucasus. In his words, they often collide
with each other in practice. "For example, when talking about all the
frozen conflicts in the South Caucasus. But it does not mean that the
use of these principles is impossible, these principles must not be
combined. It is difficult but possible," Semneby stressed, answering
the question about his latest statement on the Nagorno Karabakh and
self-determination of nations, reports ‘Nezavisimaya Gazeta’.
