/PanARMENIAN.Net/ In the framework of his visit to Baku EU Special
Representative for the South Caucasus Peter Semneby had meetings
with European Integration Committee and Nagorno Karabakh conflict
settlement Council members. At the meetings issues of Azerbaijan’s
European integration, as well as the problem of the Nagorno Karabakh
conflict were discussed. The special representative was introduced
to activities of these NGOs.

Touching upon the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement, Peter
Semneby underlined though the European Union is not involved in
the negotiation process between Azerbaijan and Armenia, the Action
Plan in the framework of European Neighborhood Policy signed between
the European Union and Azerbaijan, also indicates ways to solve the
conflict. "In case of close regional cooperation the South Caucasian
states can particularly become attractive for the European Union,"
P. Semneby stressed. European Commission’s special envoy to Azerbaijan
Alan Vaddams was also present at the meetings.
