The European commissioner for external relations and European
Neighborhood policy, Benita Ferrero- Waldner, credited Azerbaijan
with successful economic development and said this is a basis for
the settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

The European Union would help Azerbaijan solve all its problems
after the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is settled in a peaceful way,
Ferrero-Waldner promised in an interview with Azeri state television
channel AzTV.

She commended a declaration on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue that the
Azeri and Armenian presidents issued at a meeting in Moscow late
in 2008.

She also argued that a negotiated settlement of the conflict would
be essential for the prosperity for the entire region.
