/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Frozen conflicts in South Caucasus hamper development
of states and regional cooperation, said Benita Ferrero-Waldner,
European Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighborhood
Policy.
"We are hopeful that Azerbaijan and Armenia will find a peaceful
solution to the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
The European Commission calls on both states to join regional
initiatives, what will speed up the signature of a peaceful agreement,"
she said.
Asked if the European Union supports the Baku-Tbilisi-Akhalkalaki-Kars
link, Ms. Ferrero-Waldner said, "The European Commission has repeatedly
stated that will render political and financial assistance to projects
of inclusive and regional importance. However, we do not view the
above-mentioned link as such," Day.az reports.
