Strasbourg. Fuad Gulubayli – APA. "All frozen conflicts, including
Nagorno Karabakh conflict, should be solved soon," Slovenia’s Foreign
Minister Samuel Zbogar said at the press conference after Switzerland
took over from Slovenia as Chair of the Committee of Ministers,
APA reports.

"All, as well as the European Union are interested in the soonest
solution to the frozen conflicts. We saw it in Georgia-Russia war
last year. A frozen conflict may turn into a hot conflict. Therefore,
we should find way of solution to these conflicts, including Nagorno
Karabakh conflict. The European Union does not participate in the
process of negotiations. OSCE Minsk Group is dealing with this issue.

Moreover, first of all it is up to Armenia and Azerbaijan to find
ways of solution," he said.

Samuel Zbogar said the European Union should support the process
carried out by Minsk Group.

"The European Union can do much to accelerate establishment of
confidence between the two countries and contribute to promoting
interregional cooperation in the South Caucasus. For this purpose,
Eastern Partnership program was established between the European Union
and South Caucasus countries and others. The Eastern Partnership
aims to establish closer cooperation between these countries and
the European Union. We expect reforms and development from the
above-mentioned countries. We want to facilitate these reforms,
development in these countries. These valuable means may also
indirectly help solve Nagorno Karabakh conflict," he said.
