The European Union hopes that the upcoming talks between the Azeri and
Armenian foreign ministers on the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
issue will result in progress, German Ambassador to Azerbaijan Per
Stankina said at a press conference on Tuesday.
"We expect positive results from the Moscow meeting," Stankina said.
Nagorno-Karabakh is a serious problem for Azerbaijan and has been
included in both the Action Plan as part of the European Neighborhood
Policy and the Memorandum on mutual understanding on strategic energy
cooperation, he said.
"However, the EU cannot settle this conflict. Only the sides themselves
can do this," he said.
