/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "EU is confident Armenia-Turkey rapprochement will
open new possibilities for NKR settlement. RA-Turkey normalization
creates positive dynamics. In a situation where Armenian government has
to face a number of issues simultaneously, the normalization provides a
possibility to focus on further issues. I believe Armenian authorities
understand that status-quo on NKR can’t last forever," EU Special
Representative for the South Caucasus Ambassador Peter Semneby stated.

According to him, specific concessions are not to be discussed at
the moment. " Madrid principles specify solutions for both parties.

Concessions are made on both sides, and the most complicated issues,
such as Karabakh status, are put off. Still, both parties progressed
along the way of discussing solution mechanisms. Should a positive
atmosphere be created other issues will also be detailed on," Swiss
diplomat emphasized, Vremya Novostey reported.
