/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The European Union stands against resolution of
conflicts by the use of force, Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij
Rupel told a news conference in Yerevan.
"The EU speaks out for building an atmosphere of trust between the
parties to conflict. For this purpose, the mandate of EU Envoy for the
South Caucasus, Mr Peter Semneby, was expanded. We call on Azerbaijan
to put an end to warlike statements. The Nagorno Karabakh problem
needs political will but not weapons," he said.
Touching upon Nagrono Karabakh’s participation in the negotiations,
Mr Rupel said, "The OSCE Minsk Group format doesn’t provide for
participation of Nagorno Karabakh in talks yet."
